New airport terminal in use soon
Designed by the Ministry of Works, the attractive new Hokitika airport terminal is due to be opened in two months, With an over-all floor area of 370 square metres, on two levels, the building has cost $290,000, half of which has been raised by local bodies, (the Hokitika Borough Council and the
Hokitika Airport Authority), and half by the Goveminent. With the opening of the new building, the shabby older complex beside it will become obsolete. At the moment, two Friendships land and take off daily and the terminal hanJles 50-60 passengers in that time, (as well as
scheduled flights, the airfield is used by a number of private charter firms.) Airport officials don’t see the improved facilities increasing the passenger throughput or the number of flights, but a spokesman says that users will find the terminal ‘'more comfortable and more convenient”
