Report in today,s Otago Daily Times of the opening of the new Te Anau airport. Designed with planes up to 70 seats in mind, but able to accept some visits by planes up to 150 seats, the article said. I knew about the 70 seaters, but the 150 seaters would be once in a blue moon, I would think.
Do people need to fly into Te Anau? A very important tourist destination, but I would have thought one that people visit as part of a driving holiday Would it get its own ATR or Dash 8 service, or would the flights just tag on from Queenstown?
