Hutt politicians teaming up to extend Airport Flyer route
The Hutt’s three top elected politicians are joining forces in an attempt to bring the Airport Flyer bus service back to the area.
Lower Hutt mayor Campbell Barry, Hutt South MP Ginny Andersen, and Hutt-based List MP Chris Bishop will pen a joint letter to Wellington Airport owner Infratil, as well as newly appointed bus operator Tranzit.
“Quite clearly all of us are really disappointed at the decision not to include the Hutt in the new run,” Barry said.
Wellington Airport announced on Monday the Airport Flyer would return under a new operator in early 2021, and would feature Snapper card payments and Metlink’s Real Time Information screens, both of which were removed from the service in 2019.
