Conclusions arising from the analysis indicate the necessity of keeping at least two international airports, Auckland and Christchurch, capable of handling large, inbound jet aircraft, open at all hours. Recommendations are made to local authorities to ensure that the airport is protected by maintaining the area around the airport free of residential development.... [Show full abstract]
