Taupō airport manager retires

Darren Petry from Taupō District Council

Taupō airport manager Michael Groome is standing down after 12 years in the role.

Mr Groome has had an extensive career in aviation, both in operational roles and as a pilot, and has also been a farmer. He initially signed up for a one-year fixed contract but stayed on and has overseen several important milestones at the airport, including a new safety management system.
