Plane Sense from Plane Sense

Wellington International Airport and Airways New Zealand have been receiving genuine messages of suffering, from community members with existing health and wellbeing concerns, since the flight path changed 18 months ago. The Airport’s latest noise report shows that, according to WHO research, one-fifth of our neighbours could be suffering levels associated with adverse health effects.

This is one of many issues, including legal, public health and safety concerns (involving Civil Aviation Authority of NZ, and Wellington City Council as a shareholder).

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
