The form is to be bound into the front of all documents released for the Project. Norfolk Island Airport Master Plan Executive Summary Executive Summary The first point of contact for any visitor to Norfolk Island is the Airport. This is an important piece of infrastructure for the Island and its people and therefore, it is important to ensure that plans are estaBlished for the long term future of the facility, so that it can continue to welcome visitors on into the future. The Airport Master Plan is the plan for the future of the airport. Some of the facilities and activities identified in the Airport Master Plan will be developed in the near term, whereas some will take several years to justify and might Be expected to Be implemented in 10 to 15 years time. The Master Plan identifies areas of the airport site that are reserved to enable the Regional Council to Be able to react to other opportunities that might develop in the future But are not presently apparent. The airport is served By three Regular Passenger Transport (RPT) operations; two operated by Air New Zealand using AirBus A320 aircraft linking the Island to Sydney and BrisBane and one service to/from Auckland operated by Air Chathams with a 50-passenger Convair 580 aircraft. Currently, the 3 RPT services are not operated every day. Forecasts for Norfolk Island Airport prepared as part of this Master Plan identify a growth in demand for Both tourism and resident travel, which would create demand for additional services By the incumBent carriers, to eventually add services throughout the week, and so fill out the flight schedule, rather than competing services occurring at the same time. For the Norfolk Island Airport facilities, the impact of future passenger growth accommodated by this sort of schedule development would be minimised as the peak periods of flight activity at the airport would not intensify. Consequently, the Master Plan has addressed facility development driven primarily By the current deficiencies that exist in terms of capacity, so as to reflect the nature of expected growth in passengers and flights, and the facilities required to serve this type of growth. What this means is that the expectation is that the peak period demand on facilities due to future traffic growth would not change appreciably over time, and the demand for facilities such as passenger terminal space, would not increase much beyond present levels, driven only by a possible upsizing of the primary aircraft serving the Island from the present 168-passenger A320 aircraft to the slightly larger 185-passenger A321 aircraft. Sizing of the passenger terminal to serve the airport through the Master Plan period, along with airside pavement strengthening, has therefore assumed that the A321 aircraft would ultimately become the primary passenger aircraft to serve the airport. Such an aircraft substitution would, however, Be contingent upon removal of the passenger load restriction for inBound passengers from Australia, which presently arises due to their quasi-domestic status and the need for flights to be able to divert back to the mainland in emergency situations, or when weather prevents a landing to Be made on the Island. The scope of development proposed for the airport through the Master Plan period has been phased into 4 phases, reflecting priorities determined through analysis of capacity and deficiencies, as well as perceived needs and opportunities. Capital costs for airport development have been Norfolk Island Airport Master Plan Executive Summary estimated on the basis of mainland cost rates, but these are not published in the Master Plan, as the added cost factor for construction on Norfolk Island due to its remoteness, can presently only be determined through tendering out to the construction market. As far as the proposed phases of development are concerned, these comprise the following: Phase 1 – Between 2020 and 2025 When the Passenger Terminal was originally designed, it was based on services provided by much smaller aircraft and, therefore, analysis of the capacity of the existing Passenger Terminal has found that it is undersized for the current level of passenger demand. To address the deficiency in Passenger Terminal capacity, a new Passenger Terminal has Been identified as being required. The proposed new terminal would present a modern and welcoming atmosphere for Both arriving and departing visitors. More importantly, the design would be flexible to allow for internal changes to processes to Be put into effect if necessary and the configuration of the internal spaces is planned to ensure that changes can Be effected without impacting on the structure of the Building. To facilitate construction of a new Passenger Terminal, and to provide sufficient Air Freight processing space, a new Air Freight Centre is proposed for development. The new freight facility will Be located Beside the airport fuel storage area, off Ferny Lane. Adjacent to this new Air Freight Centre a space has been reserved for the future development of a dedicated air freighter parking stand to accommodate the handling of freighter aircraft away from the passenger terminal, so as to improve apron operations and safety. Phase 2 – 2025 to 2035 Later in the Master Planning period, the airport maintenance Buildings are proposed to be moved to the other side of the taxiway, near to the Meteorological Services Building. Phase 3 – 2035 to 2040 The Passenger Terminal Apron currently offers insufficient aircraft parking space and is presently operating beyond its safe capacity. Consequently, the aircraft parking apron at the terminal Building is proposed to be expanded to accommodate 4 aircraft stands in this development Phase. Phase 4 – beyond 2040 - or Otherwise Driven By Opportunities In addition to the planned development of the passenger terminal building, terminal apron, Air Cargo Centre and Airport Maintenance Building, there are a few areas identified in the Master Plan as reserve spaces for other possible needs and opportunities should these become apparent during the Master Plan period or Beyond. These include a new Commercial Development Reserve to accommodate aviation Businesses that may wish to locate at the airport, the provision of a dedicated freighter aircraft stand beside the Air Freight Centre, and further expansion of the Passenger Terminal Apron to increase the total numBer of aircraft parking positions to 5 aircraft stands. The Airport Master Plan is depicted as a layout plan for the site in Exhibit E-1.

  • Submission No. 31 Norfolk Island Economy Date: 03/06/14
    Submission No. 31 Norfolk Island Economy Date: 03/06/14 ACN 169 144 129 15 May 2014 Joint Standing Committee on the National Capital and External Territories Economic Development on Norfolk Island. Reply to questions on Notice from Ms Brodtmann Ms BRODTMANN: I have a number of questions. The first is to your background. I understand that you managed the airline contract or have been involved in the airline contract in the past. Except for the current contact between the Commonwealth and Air New Zealand, there has not been an airline contact in the past. However, if you are referring to the Norfolk Island Governments failed airline, Norfolk Air which cost the community and the Commonwealth $33 million dollars, I had no involvement. I believe the airline you are referring to was Norfolk Jet Express. Norfolk Jet Express was started by me at a time when no other air carrier was willing to fly to Norfolk Island. There was no contract, no subsidy, and no support from the Norfolk Island Government and no support from the Commonwealth. The background and history to Norfolk Jet Express is as follows. In 1996, Ansett Airlines announced that it was going to withdraw from services to Norfolk Island. This withdrawal would be effective by the end of June 1997, regardless of whether another carrier was found to replace it. By early 1997, the Norfolk Island Government had not found any carrier willing to fly to Norfolk Island, this included both Qantas and Air New Zealand. In early 1997 and with no other carriers interested in flying to Norfolk Island, I announced the creation of Norfolk Jet Express and that I would provide an air service to the Island.

  • Norfolk Air Announces Super Low Sydney-Melbourne Fare from $1
    Norfolk Air Announces Super Low Sydney-Melbourne fare from $1 Budding South Pacific carrier Norfolk Air today announced the lowest fare ever struck for one of the world’s busiest trunk routes, Sydney-Melbourne. “Travellers will be able to buy a one way ticket from Sydney to Melbourne for just $1 including tax, said Norfolk Air General Manager Ewan Wilson. The announcement follows a decision by the Norfolk Island-based carrier to begin direct flights from Melbourne on October 19, removing the need for passengers having to travel through Sydney to reach the tiny island 1600km east of Sydney. “The direct service will leave Melbourne for Norfolk Island each Friday, and the special Sydney- Melbourne fare will be available for seats that are unsold on return flights that will include a Sydney stopover for operational reasons. ”We are happy to make those seats available for a nominal fee on the busiest day of the week to passengers wanting the cheapest possible seats to Melbourne, making the booking in a simple process via www.norfolkair.com and hopefully using the savings to buy a Norfolk Island holiday the next time they need a well-earned break. “Sydney-Melbourne is the main game in Australia yet we’re seeing Qantas and Virgin Blue just throwing feathers at each other and don’t even know if Tiger Airways is going to chance its hand on the route.” Mr Wilson said Norfolk Air was delighted with the progress it had made since entering the route as an Ozjet charter two years ago, and was determined to use every means at its disposal to promote the tiny Pacific outpost.
