Poll: Do you think Hamilton's airport should have extended its runway?
The company behind Hamilton-Kirikiriroa Airport has ditched plans to make the runway longer.
The airport boss says expert reports showed “no compelling argument” and international flights can be accommodated if the airlines want. But a Hamilton city councillor and airline figure said the decision makes the airport “an aviation backwater".

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
