RFS = Rescue Fire Service
You know, those guys with the best Crew-Rooms!! (& Videos!)
One would expect that the Maori Mobster will be right behind the terminal upgrade & hopefully another 200m extension to the runway. (Yippee, I might get to fly into my home once again!!!)
It's his cuzzies that the tourists will be seeing (& paying) at Tamaki Tours. He might be able to afford that Harly now.......
Hills near airports, not lighted, hmmmmm
Like that solar idea. But far too practical and modern and PC to be of any use....

Ah Bro....... caught me a Marlin with that one - didn't I anti smoke off!!!
If you read the article in the Vegas press then you would know who it was written by and his Actual knowledge behind it. It was the same article that came out about 4 months ago.
You then have to ask yourself why? Why have a bigger runway in RO? When all around the traps you hear about TG, WK and RO combining to give a regional one? ASk yourself that Smoke Anti sunscreen ON!!!
As for RFS in TG, about time, can you imagine the two old men of sunair trying to fight a fire. D would be saying "I wonder how much of the plane I could throw a bit of paint on and use again?"

RFS
Thanks CT7,it all becomes clearer in the cold,hard light of morning
Ahh yes, troppo - Onepu International Airport - mind those smokestacks!!
Also the teenage pregnancy capital of NZ
Lapsus Language - do tell.What licence? You mean you,ve seen -700 on the ops specs or AOC? Where does this tie up with Qantarse/Air NZ deal/VB? What about Freedom, will NM compete with itself (after all Freedom is officially an subsiduary(sp) of NM) or are you saying Freedom will replace -300s with -700s?

Thump and Go, not just the teenage pregnancy capital but, better still the Under 14 pregnancy capital too. Classy. Had a mate living there who got given ($1) the plot of land next door on the main street, owner couldn't be bothered paying rates and no-one wanted to buy it.

hmmm
let me think (smoking away with my pipe)
doesn't an international runway to fly those big waka's have to be a certain width?
hmmm
does vegas qualify?
hmmm
could it support all these proposed idea's.
hmmm
does it still have problems getting the rights from the local bro's to dig up the northern end to lay the extension?
the answer to these very questions lies within each of us..... oh sh&t bin smoking too much w@@d
well - anti smelly on the answer is .....
thru the smoke signals....... (also a picture of a flying waka would be here but massey haven't shown me how to do that yet)
NO
go back to trying to fly and when you get a real life you'll understand that Massey trains people to think as well....

Anti skid
The ILS thing in TG is just a rumour, but the GPS approach is due shortly. As far as the port goes there is still talk going on about buying one of the VORs that airways are about to replace and putting it in TG.
Apparently it's around the $1mill mark to set one up which is spare change for a port which stands to make ten times that if it can put in another crane or two.
Will let all know when I hear

I didn't think Massey trained people. Just processed them!
And does anyone know how the 12 court cases against Massey Av turned out?
Oh, Uncle Koru will be flying into Rotovegas (full of tourists again) B4 Santa pays a visit.

RO 737 and TG RFS
Tauranga is about to upgrade it's RFS to grade 2 inside the next month.
As far as the RO 737, well I watch one do circuits there yesterday. I guess thats a start

Where there is a will there will be a way.
The big issue is the demand for international flights to Rotovegas. Who wants to go to Tauranga??
Who knows where Tauranga is??
Vegas will eventually get the extension it needs and then the direct international flights. After 30 odd years of trying it is about time...

Na, it was zk NGA.
As far as RO goes they are going to need a little more than the extension they just put on to get 737-800 in and out of there with a good load.
I would be happy to put a bet on it that as soon as the rescue fire is upgraded you will see TG with an increased amount of traffic. Not to mention that the terminal will also be looking good by the end of the year, RO will not look good to anybody. Not that it even looks good at the moment.

I think you'll find there is a huge re-vamp in store for Rotorua Airport. Just look at the surrounds... changed a bit in the last few years. The Local Council (whilst not super intelligent) know that the airport needs work and know that it's the gateway to the BoP for tourists.
TGA just stays with the turbo-props, or maybe the odd 737 that misses at Vegas.
And why would you want to fly directly into TGA from international destinations? What's there?
It's so close to AKL!

Which is why you fly to Rotorua and by land to TGA.
Still, there is nothing to fly to TGA for....
And we're talking domestic flights here. Why fly international direct to TGA?
