Wanaka Airport owners not truthful, expansion opponents say

From Checkpoint, 6:14 pm on 5 November 2020

A group fighting against any expansion of Wanaka Airport says the airport's owners aren't being truthful with the community about its plans.

Wanaka Airport, and its sister facility in Queenstown, are owned by Queenstown Airport Corporation, which is itself majority owned by the Queenstown Lakes District Council.

Plans for expanding both facilities were shelved after pushback from locals - but, as Timothy Brown reports, the Wanaka Stakeholders Group isn't buying it.
