There is some community support for a new airport in Central Otago.
Air New Zealand is backing a call for a new one in the region, saying it will only be so long until growth at Queenstown Airport comes to a stand-still.
There are also calls for a new airport near Lumsden - roughly halfway between Queenstown and Invercargill.
Frankton Community Association chair Glyn Lewers told Kate Hawkesby a new airport in Central Otago is a better option.
"With the Lumsden one, I would say Invercargill would have something to say about it. That's only another hour away and all the facilities are half built already there."
