The strategy, dubbed the “Flightpath for Growth” and unveiled in late March, is the culmination of an extensive review process initiated by chief executive Simon Moutter and his new leadership team. The plan recognises that the world has changed significantly over the past year and the operating environment for the airport is now a lot tougher than it has been for many years. “We can no longer rely on relentless increases in passenger volumes to drive the growth we’ve enjoyed over the previous decade. Now, passenger numbers are falling, our airline partners are hurting and we are sharing More resources will be applied to route development, that pain along with everyone else in the travel and tourism tourism promotion and air cargo services as well.

  • Asian Breeze (67)
    Asian Breeze (67) (亜細亜の風) Merry Christmas to you 11 December 2019 Dear Coordinators and Facilitators in Asia/Pacific. Greetings from freezing cold Tokyo. Christmas songs are floating around every corner of town and Christmas illuminations are everywhere in Tokyo. They are the common familiar sceneries at this time of the year. Tokyo is now wrapped up with joyous mood. What a splendid season of the year! Eleven years have passed since I started issuing Asian Breeze. Time flies, doesn’t it? The Asian Breeze has been issued every two months without disruption due to your constant support and contributions. I am committed to continue to issue it as long as I can. Please send me your contribution to [email protected]. We have received a wonderful contribution from Mr. Bruce Cargill, coordinator of ACL, New Zealand Office featuring Auckland International Airport (AKL) and Wellington International Airport (WLG). Some pictures of Brisbane and Asian Tea Gathering at IATA SC145 are posted. In addition, the new member of IATA Slot Policy Working Group (SPWG) and new member of WWACG Board are introduced at the end. I hope you will find them interesting. Airports in New Zealand New Zealand is a sovereign island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean.

  • Exploring Great Barrier Island
    Motorhomes Caravans and Destinations - April 2019 Author and Photographer Lisa Jansen Reproduced with permission from Bauer Media - Subject to copyright in its entirety. Exploring Great Barrier Island Lisa Jansen escapes far from the madding crowd in her Ford Transit campervan to Great Barrier Island, where relaxation has never been easier What if I told you there is a place only four and a half hours from Auckland that offers stunning scenery, beautiful white, sandy beaches, countless picturesque walks and hikes, good coffee, great fishing and surfing, and friendly locals, but that never gets overly crowded – even during the busy summer season? Believe it or not, such a place Me enjoying the views over Okiwi exists. It’s called Great Barrier Island and might well be one of New Zealand’s best kept secrets. That’s not to say it’s everyone’s cup of tea. Getting there is a bit of a mission and not cheap, cell phone reception is often patchy, campgrounds only offer cold showers and long- drop toilets, driving faster than 60 kilometres an hour is basically impossible thanks to the narrow and windy roads, and if you’re looking for a movie theatre or shopping complex, you’re out of luck. What might be a little too basic and boring for some is heaven for those of us who love nature and the feeling of getting away from our busy lives. I fell in love with Great Barrier when I first visited back in 2013 for a week, and again in 2016. Since I now call a 1999 Ford Transit campervan home, I decided to make the most of it this year and take the van over to the island for three weeks to really have a chance to enjoy it and explore.
