Connect Wellington (Wellington Airport campaign) / December 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 City Council Votes to Fund Half the Runway Consenting Work
- Connect Wellington (Wellington Airport campaign)
- Wellington City Council has voted to contribute $1.95 million to start the formal consenting process associated with the proposal to extend Wellington Airport’s runway by 350 metres. Deputy Mayor Justin Lester says the contribution – to be matched by Wellington International Airport Ltd (WIAL) – will fund the estimated $5.9 million cost of a resource consent application to an Environmental Protection Agency board of inquiry.
