See also - ALL NEWS FOR THE DAY With its annual passenger traffic expected to double to in excess of 12mppa by 2040, the New Zealand gateway says that it needs to plan for the future now to avoid becoming a victim of its own success and not having the facilities to meet future demand. The proposed masterplan includes a terminal expansion, runway and taxiway system improvements, new freight facilities, additional aircraft parking stands, and a modern fire station. Under the plans, a new multi-purpose domestic and international jet terminal would be constructed. The development will extend to the south of the existing terminal, with the surrounding apron and at-grade carparking areas repurposed for jet aircraft.

Airport chief executive, Steve Sanderson, says: “The recent terminal expansion has done well to keep pace with domestic growth, but the international facilities are already facing congestion at peak times. The availability of gates is constrained during busy periods and busing of regional passengers is often required. “The forecast growth will mean demand will exceed existing capacity and we need additional land to accommodate the airport’s operations and the new generation of aircraft that are carrying increasing numbers of passengers more efficiently.” See also - ALL NEWS FOR THE DAY See also - ALL NEWS FOR THE DAY “Now more than ever, growing Wellington’s global connectivity is critical to the city and the country.
