Tasmania will open its borders to ACT residents from Monday 26 October.

The news comes after direct flights between Canberra and Hobart were announced earlier this week, set to start on 1 December.

Link Airways, the carrier operating the flights between Canberra and Hobart, is expected to bring forward the scheduled commencement date of the flights following today’s announcements.
