We launched our new look magazine kōrero back in September, giving insights into the people and initiatives that help make Queenstown and Wānaka airports tick.

Thank you for the positive feedback and we hope you enjoy our second issue. In this edition, we feature all the latest highlights for Warbirds over Wanaka 2020, including the most recent announcement that the F/A-18.Hornets. from the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) will return for the first time in 10 years.

We get to know our neighbours a little better, featuring updates and stories from Remarkables Market, Otago Rescue Helicopters and Alpine Helicopters’ new HeliBike experience. Closer to home we have our airport safety updates, details on QAC’s Living Wage accreditation and a wrap-up of Airport Safety Week 2019.

Enjoy the read, have a great holiday period and we’ll be back in March with our autumn edition.
