Kaitāia Airport has officially reopened following the successful completion of a runway reseal, with the first flight landing just hours after work wrapped up.
Preliminary works for the Kaitāia Airport runway upgrade started this week, with council contractor, Downer, preparing for a full reseal scheduled later this month. Local contractors will be used wherever possible, and this was a key consideration during the procurement process.
