Tenders for the work closed today, and airport management expects to make a decision within a few weeks.
The airport's Manager, Pamela Graham, says the upgrade includes an X-ray baggage system, more retail space and a new-look terminal.
"Finally, probably a really important point to make, we're turning the terminal into a common user one, so that we'll have depatures at one end of the terminal and arrivals at the other," said Ms Graham.
About time Launceston had an upgrade. It's always been a shambles with the different buildings. It would make it easier for all visitors as well. In the great scheme of things $20M isn't really that big but if they can make a difference to the general atmosphere to the airport, it's a good thing.
