Hawke's Bay Airport has won a reprieve from Airways following a review of its air traffic control needs but the axe still hangs over other centres.
Airways today announced that an independent aeronautical study has
determined that the airport's existing air traffic control (ATC) service should stay.
Those still under review are Gisborne, New Plymouth, Rotorua and Invercargill airports, and the airfield flight information services provided at Kapiti Coast Airport and Milford Sound Piopiotahi Aerodrome.
