Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Rumours Hamilton Airport is lining up a new international carrier to fly in and out of the city are just that, according to airport chief executive Mark Morgan.

A recent social media conversation alluded that a number of different international players were thinking of heading to Hamilton, including Fiji Airways, Hawaiian Airlines and China Airlines, after locals spotted Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) and Aviation Security staff doing the rounds.

The city's new mayor is setting out his plan

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton City Council is pledging to cut costs and avoid “gold plating” infrastructure as part of a new strategy to limit rates increases, but Mayor Tim Macindoe says central government support may be needed to meet a new national rates cap.
