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.
On Tuesday, the company revealed its preferred runway alignment and more details of its business case.
It included projections that demand for air connectivity to and from Central Otago, including Queenstown and Wānaka, was likely to grow to about 6.8 million passengers by 2050.
