Infratil: "While passenger numbers declined [at Wellington Airport] to 5,117,906 from 5,256,437 EBITDAF increased NZD3 million to NZD68 million due to higher income from passenger services (up NZD2.1 million) and aeronautical charges (up NZD1.3 million) … over the last 20 years Wellington's traffic has gone from 2.6 million to 5.1 million passengers and approximately the same growth rate is forecast into the future, meaning that in 2030 it will have about 10 million passengers, which will require approximately NZD450 million of new capital be invested to enlarge facilities," Company statement.
