One of Queenstown’s most experienced aviators is ‘‘dead against’’ a proposal to close Milford’s airstrip, while Queenstown mayor Jim Boult’s promising to work with operators to lobby for its retention.
Milford Opportunities Project governance group boss Keith Turner unveiled plans yesterday — the result of four years’ work — which include a recommendation to close the Milford
airstrip.
In a statement, Turner says the group knows that’ll be ‘‘controversial’’ and will affect livelihoods.
‘‘But the airstrip is in a poor state of repair, is already beginning to flood at extreme high tides, is very exposed to alpine fault tsunami risk and would be very expensive to rebuild to a modern and sustainable standard.
