A community group is suspicious about Christchurch Airport's announcement it's pausing work on a proposed international airport in Central Otago.
In 2020, the company bought 750 hectares of farmland in Tarras in hopes of building a runway to support flights from Australia, the South Pacific, and Southeast Asia.
Now, a letter has been sent to Christchurch city councillors saying the airport's board has decided to slow work on the plan.
Local community group, Sustainable Tarras, thinks Christchurch Airport is not telling the full story. Their spokesperson Duncan Kenderdine spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
