Victoria’s tourism operators are requesting the federal government add four more regional airports, including Tullamarine, to the $1.2 billion federal tourism rescue package.

In a co-signed letter to federal Tourism Minister Dan Tehan, the operators said they are “deeply disappointed” with the fact that Avalon remains the only Victorian airport in the rescue package so far and calls on the federal governments to add Tullamarine, Albury, Bendigo, and Mildura airports to the package.
