A group opposed to a proposed airport at Tarras says it's gearing up to fight the plan all the way to the courts.

Christchurch Airport has unveiled more detail for its controversial proposal to build an airport in the small Central Otago settlement.

The preferred runway alignment will have flights departing over Cromwell or through the Lindis Valley and be able to take flights to and from Australia, the South Pacific and Southeast Asia.

Sustainable Tarras spokesperson Duncan Kenderdine spoke to Corin Dann.
