• • Wellington's first Dreamliner arrival

    • 19 Feb 2015
    • Connect Wellington (Wellington Airport campaign)
    • Wellington’s first new generation, Boeing 787 Dreamliner has touched down on Wednesday evening. Arriving in from Nadi, The United Arab Emirates B787-800 is in the Capital for one day on an official presidential visit from Abu Dhabi. Wellington Airport has previously catered for other wide-body aircraft such as the Qantas A330 during the Rugby World cup and the Boeing 777-300ER from Tokyo last year. While Wellington’s runway enables some long haul aircraft to land, the existing runway length limits the take-off weight they can carry.

But he’s concerned only with minimising these problems for the cricket ground. There’s no concern that the same problems will affect the wider community.
