Newcastle airport says it is hoping to secure agreement from interested airlines in the first half of the year on a plan to resume regular flights to New Zealand.
Customs officials visited the airport in December to inspect the existing terminal and provide their specifications for facilities including baggage search rooms and x-ray services.
Airport business development manager, David Nye says current plans for a small terminal expansion can be modified to cater for international passengers.
"We're in a good position in terms of having the plans in place and it is just a case of continuing dialogue with the border agency group and the airlines," he said.
"If everything goes well, it's still a case of having to build something, but it's not a huge terminal expansion, it will be something modest, but it is more optimistic."
The above from ABC News Australia reference Newcastle NSW. As much relevance to EGNT as Flights to New York and Alex Salmond harping on about Jock APD.
F@ŁK EGNT cannot even sort out an aircrew route through security. Backward. Will never change when local councils are shareholders.
