West Auckland Airport has applied for airport authority status, as it plans to develop the airport, with the aim of attracting a commercial passenger-carrying airline. Part of this plan could include the development of a new, longer runway. It views airport authority status as an important step for future growth, allowing it greater ability to attract new investment for planned developments. We are inviting submissions on the proposal from West Auckland Airport, and you are also welcome to attend a public meeting on this application.
