Queenstown Airport has come out against a potential airport in Tarras, claiming the proposal is pitching a solution in search of a problem.
Christchurch Airport has bought almost eight hundred hectares of land in recent years in preparation for a new terminal which would see four million passengers fly in and out of the small settlement near Cromwell each year.
But Queenstown Airport says another airport would be excessive, with the nearest airport less than a hundred kilometres away.
Queenstown Airport chief executive Glen Sowry spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
