Aircraft Landing Rights
Sir, —In view of the fatherly interest Mr Wigley has shown in aviation since 1933, I feel he will personally lend his weight to opening the Mount Cook Airfield for all planes. Questions which require answers are: Does the airfield belong to the Crown? Did the Ministry of Works carry out improvements? Did Mount Cook Airlines pay the Ministry of Works for this work? Have Mount Cook Airlines paid N.A.C. in full for the DC3 aircraft purchased? How long were Mount Cook Airlines operating the N.A.C. DC3 aircraft before payment? Does a lessee of land used for an airfield have any legal right to preclude any particular aircraft? Keeping private aircraft out of Mount Cook is in direct conflict with the wishes of the tourist individualist whom we need in this country.—Yours, etc., “B. A. SWALLOW.” June 29, 1966.
[The sales manager of Mount Cook Airlines (Mr E. G. Beckett) replies: “As was stated in our last reply we will be very pleased to discuss aspects of our operation with ‘B. A. Swallow’ or ‘Tourist’ if they care to call on us. We also feel that most points have already been answered.”]
