An airport master plan announced in October 2019 said the terminal would be doubled in size, with “taxiway improvements” for which it wanted to buy the the southern portion of the Miramar Golf Course to provide space for additional aircraft stands, taxiways and aprons. airport golf transport sport media Tue, 19 Oct 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=139942 Wellington Scoop 2021-10-19T00:00:00Z -41.330682749999994 174.81428468550956 Miramar Golf Course, Airport Bus Stop Walkway, Rongotai, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6242, New Zealand https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=138876 Despite being surrounded by high hills, Wellington is fortunate to have an international airport that is under 10km from its CBD, with flight approaches over Cook Strait to the south and just missing the Newland hills to the north. The drawback is the runway which forms a major physical barrier over 2km long between the city and the airport terminal and the growing population of over 20,000 residents who live east of the airport on Miramar Peninsula. airport miramar transport places media Mon, 06 Sep 2021 00:00:00 GMT https://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=138876 Wellington Scoop 2021-09-06T00:00:00Z -41.3133541 174.8196538 Miramar, Wellington, New Zealand http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=134770 Wellington City Councillor Tamatha Paul was successful in leading the charge to remove $75 million for the Airport which had been in the council’s long term plan. For this, she and her colleagues have been lambasted by some – such as a letter to the Dominion Post by Nick Leggett a few days ago. But neither he nor the media appear to understand what this is all about. airport runway-extension wcc transport government media Thu, 11 Mar 2021 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=134770 Wellington Scoop 2021-03-11T00:00:00Z -41.32691975 174.8077029634527 Wellington International Airport, Coutts Street, Rongotai, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6023, New Zealand http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=83387 runway-extension airport transport media Tue, 03 Nov 2015 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=83387 Wellington Scoop 2015-11-03T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=82833 runway-extension airport transport media Sat, 17 Oct 2015 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=82833 Wellington Scoop 2015-10-17T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=80729 runway-extension airport transport media Fri, 14 Aug 2015 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=80729 Wellington Scoop 2015-08-14T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=78730 When city councillors this week reconfirmed their decision that the city should pay $90million towards the unknown cost of extending the airport runway into Cook Strait, some pre-conditions had been added. The key one: that an international airline should have committed to using the runway, before the council hands over the money. runway-extension airport transport media Fri, 29 May 2015 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=78730 Wellington Scoop 2015-05-29T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=78013 runway-extension airport transport media Thu, 07 May 2015 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=78013 Wellington Scoop 2015-05-07T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=76526 runway-extension airport transport media Fri, 20 Mar 2015 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=76526 Wellington Scoop 2015-03-20T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=59960 airport transport media Mon, 30 Sep 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=59960 Wellington Scoop 2013-09-30T00:00:00Z -41.32691975 174.8077029634527 Wellington International Airport, Coutts Street, Rongotai, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6023, New Zealand http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=58454 The news that Wellington Airport wants $200million of public money to pay for most of the cost of extending its runway seems to have relegated the proposal to the list of the city’s impossible dreams. runway-extension airport transport media Sun, 18 Aug 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=58454 Wellington Scoop 2013-08-18T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=57952 Plans to extend the runway at the northern end of Wellington Airport involve a tunnel under the extension – with consequences that the City Council and the Regional Council have not yet taken into account. It’s against the law for fuel tankers to travel through tunnels, and there’s already a tunnel at the southern end of the runway. runway-extension airport transport media Tue, 06 Aug 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=57952 Wellington Scoop 2013-08-06T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=57796 airport transport media Wed, 31 Jul 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=57796 Wellington Scoop 2013-07-31T00:00:00Z -41.3318662 174.8127124 Stewart Duff Drive, Strathmore Park, Wellington, 6022, New Zealand/Aotearoa http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=55926 runway-extension airport transport media Mon, 03 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=55926 Wellington Scoop 2013-06-03T00:00:00Z http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=31991 airport transport media Sat, 19 Feb 2011 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=31991 Wellington Scoop 2011-02-19T00:00:00Z -41.32691975 174.8077029634527 Wellington International Airport, Coutts Street, Rongotai, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6023, New Zealand http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=25436 airport transport media Thu, 03 Jun 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://wellington.scoop.co.nz/?p=25436 Wellington Scoop 2010-06-03T00:00:00Z -41.32691975 174.8077029634527 Wellington International Airport, Coutts Street, Rongotai, Wellington, Wellington City, Wellington, 6023, New Zealand
