With great Foresight is the story of Christchurch International Airport. Today this corporate entity, with 75% Christchurch City Council and 25% Government ownership, has established a position as the Gateway for the Best of the South Island and Antarctica. It is the second largest international airport in the New Zealand and provides employment for around 4.500 people, processes 5.5 million passengers, and around 100.000 tones of freight annually. The story highlights the efforts of a number of very capable administrators, well-known local politicans, and successful businessmen and women. It is a story of foresight, where over the last 70 years successive decisions have been made with the long-term development of the region and the South Island in mind.
