We are a non-profit group of local volunteers trying to stop Wellington Airport doubling passenger numbers.
We aren’t anti-airport, we just think it should put the climate and community before shareholder profits
Community Wishes
82% of Wellingtonians want climate action now and think 2050 is too late. 92% want to respond to the climate emergency no matter what.
Conflict of Interest
Wellington City Council at present still owns 34% of the airport. The Mayor is on the board where she has to act in the best interest of the airport and not Wellingtonians.
Community impact
The airport has no room to expand, it’s in a city! Its solution is to have its planes right next to low decile communities.
Construction work cost the earth
