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.

There are renewed fears Kāpiti Airport could close for good after it shut on Sunday following a security threat.
The regional airport, north of Wellington, has slashed its opening hours over staff shortages.
Kāpiti Coast Airport was still closed on Monday morning, after an online threat shut it down Sunday. This feels like death by a thousand cuts, Kapiti Districts Aero Clubs Tony Quayle said.

Kāpiti Coast Airport will have a series of rolling closures from tomorrow until February 1 due to a lack of Airways staff to operate the Aerodrome Flight Information Service (AFIS) at the airport.
The closures are at various times over the next two months, some for up to five hours at a time.
AFIS provides information useful to pilots for the safe and efficient conduct of their flights.
Kāpiti Coast Airport s exposition, as accepted by the Civil Aviation Authority, details the provisions they have to operate in accordance with.
