Proposed Central Otago airport could host 3.6 million passengers and operate 24 hours a day
The backers of an international airport proposal in remote Central Otago say the airport could serve 3.6 million passengers a year during a 24-hour operation.
Christchurch Airport plans to build the airport on a 800ha site at the town of Tarras, about 30km north of Cromwell.
