7 placed on direct international services from HIA. Of the 1,200 residents surveyed, the majority of international travellers are prepared to pay a premium to fly direct. 2.12 Cargo Potential – Brief outline of the current situation at HIA HIA is ideally located for airfreight with high volumes of exported and imported airfreight being trucked close to the airport on State Highways 1 and 3. Exported airfreight • An estimated 40,000 tonnes per annum of airfreight for export is trucked past the airport or produced locally; • 30% of exported airfreight is destined for Asia. Imported airfreight • An estimated 70,000 tonnes per annum of imported airfreight is trucked past the airport or used locally • 37% of imported airfreight is from Asia (source: HIA). Source: HIA outbound catchment survey of those interested in international respondents) travel, Jul10 (1,200 Most airfreight goes via Auckland Airport, with its location at the top of the North Island most of the airfreight is then trucked around the country.
8 It is believed that over 90% of New Zealand’s airfreight goes via passenger aircraft, with Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Air New Zealand and Qantas dominating the market. Currently, there is very limited freight shipped via HIA internationally and in my opinion the Cargo market will only grow with the introduction of additional international passenger flights. 2.13 Runway Limitations The current runway length of 2,195 metres prohibits larger aircraft including B787, A350, B777 and B747 operating direct from HIA to Australia and Asia. To correct this, HIA is proposing the following changes to the existing runway: • Construct a 789 metre sealed extension to the northern end of the main runway (over the existing Runway End Safety Area) consisting of a 610 metre sealed runway extension and a 188 metre sealed starter extension; and • Form a new 240 metre RESA at the northern end of the proposed runway extension and lengthen the RESA at the southern end to 240m. 2.14 In September 2010, a detailed study of the required runway lengths to operate to potential long haul markets with selected wide body aircraft was commissioned by HIA. The report was completed by Astral Aviation Consultants and was titled “Runway Length Requirements at Hamilton International Airport”. 2.15 Consequently, the report recommended that the runway be extended to a total sealed length of 2,984m, based on a 2,796m landing distance and a 2608m takeoff distance.
