Rolling closures at Kāpiti Coast Airport will impact the safety of pilots and small aircraft who rely on it for safe harbour in poor weather and other events, according to the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association of NZ (AOPANZ).
Association president Steve Brown said the rolling closures raised unintended safety concerns and will impact pilots transiting through Cook Strait who use Omaka in Blenheim and Kāpiti Coast Airport in Paraparaumu as the staging points for their travel around the country.
