Typical small minded NZ thinking. They should immediately extend the runway to the south to 3000m +. Wellington and the other picturesque destinations in NZ feature heavily on the radar of millions of newly wealthy Asians. But they want direct flights. NZ is popular with Beijing rich. But they want to go direct.
Now if NZ really wanted to make the big time they would find a technical solution for a bridge over the Cook Straight. Yes I know it's 24km and 1000 ft deep with fast flowing a current. But if man can land a probe on a comet, a bridge shouldn't be that hard.
Edit: Damn autospell
