    Hardly - considering their traffic volume and geographical constraints. Would need a totally new airport in Wellywood to deal with a comparable traffic volumes - and than, who wants to go to Wellington anyway?

    If you want competition for Auckland it might be more promising to swap international traffic from an Auckland hub to Christchurch ... or even to build Hamilton International ;

    bp ift are trying to extend the runway at wellington airport so as larger planes can be accomodated, it is typical in my opinion of planning in nz where a lot of decisions are made for short term .... think of trains robbie the mayor planned for auckland 40 odd yrs ago only stopped by short sighted people.

    I doubt that it's anything to do with short term/long term planning but rather that IFT own around 2/3rds of Wellington Airport!

    Interesting timing to build now a wind farm in Texas, given that the US have now a president who hates any renewable energies. Lets see whether he implements some tariffs on wind energy - I guess that would just be fair - the wind comes from overseas (potentially even Mexico - yuk) and destroys US jobs in the oil and coal industry ...

    In terms of the lifecycle of a wind power asset the current President is transient. Especially when considering the near inevitability of the world moving to a low carbon future.
