New Airport Up-To-Date WELLINGTON, New Zealand (Reuters) -- When Wellington's $11,000,000 Rongotai Airport opens about the middle of April, 1959, |this capital will have one of the most up-to-date airports in the world. Stretching from Evans Bay to Lyall Bay, a distance of more than a mile, with Rongotai har- bor off the northern end of the |airstrip and Cook Strait off the southern end, the new airport is surrounded by hills. But the airstrip will have an over-run of between 350 feet and 450 feet at each end and radar and other navigational aids will] ensure safety in landings and takeoffs Few airports serving a capital city, or any other city for that matter, are as close to the centre of the city.
