Mayor urges PM to save Kāpiti Airport
Kāpiti Mayor K Gurunathan is appealing to the Prime Minister to save Kāpiti Airport from potential closure, while former Prime Minister Helen Clark urged the Government to give “careful consideration” to the request.
Gurunathan wrote to Jacinda Ardern on Tuesday, asking the Government for a commitment over the future of the embattled airport.
In his letter, Gurunathan referred to a 2005 incident in which a charted plane with Clark onboard landed at the Paraparaumu airport, a 45-minute drive north of Wellington, after a door opened mid-flight.
He said the incident emphasised the airport's importance as an alternative to Wellington Airport in emergencies.
