Exactly!! what is it with this country and always doing things in half measures especially when it comes to transport infrastructure?
Exactly how many people will want to fly direct to Dubai from Wellington.
Yes there are plenty of half measure examples. Equally there are plenty of examples of "we need one too" when there is absolutely no need.
New Zealand is a country of 4.5 million spread out over a land mass bigger than a the UK which has a population of over 64 million. We cannot support some of these grandiose schemes. I think the NZWN runway extension is one such scheme.
