Users of the system including universities, stage and screen productions and major events groups would foot the bill, which would be "over and above" hotel quarantine fees for returning Australians.

In a letter to Prime Minister Scott Morrison seen by AAP on Tuesday, Acting Premier James Merlino outlines the scheme and proposes for it to begin from May 24.

The economic cohort would catch commercial flights where possible and be housed in a dedicated quarantine hotel away from other returned travellers, similar to the Australian Open program.

"We've always said that we would work to welcome back international students when it is safe and reasonable to do so," Mr Merlino said in a statement.

"We believe we've acquitted all of the Commonwealth's requirements to establish a dedicated economic stream so we look forward to their consideration and approval of this proposal."
