Wellington's old air traffic control tower to be demolished

Reporter Community News

Wellington's old air traffic control tower spent 60 years watching over the capital's skies, but now it is being demolished and its spot will make way for housing in the future, its owner says.
The building, affectionately called "Arnold", is a landmark of Tirangi Rd and was decommissioned as a control tower in 2018.
The tower, in Rongotai, went up for sale last October and was bought by Wellington Airport. While the sale price was not disclosed, Stuff understands the airport paid about $1.2 million.
