Connect Wellington (Wellington Airport campaign) / April 2014
Our runway is currently too short for long-haul direct flights to be viable, so you have to get connecting flights via other airports, which can add up to 50% of extra travel time. We need to be well connected to ensure Wellington remains a cutting-edge place where people want to work and play.

- Wellington Airport has previously catered for other wide-body aircraft such as the Qantas A330 during the Rugby World cup. While Wellington’s runway enables some long haul aircraft to land with a commercially viable load, the existing runway length limits the maximum available take-off weight. The additional fuel required to reach long haul destinations means that the number of passengers and cargo are restricted on flights beyond Australia.
