Wellington Airport releases half-year unaudited results

Wellington Airport has announced its unaudited results for the six months ended 30 September 2024 with revenue growth of 18.6 per cent to $91 million and EBITDAF before subvention payment up by 25 per cent to $63 million from the same period last year.

“It’s pleasing to see solid demand for travel continuing in the face of the domestic headwinds this year,” says Wellington Airport chief executive Matt Clarke.

“International passenger numbers are up 12 per cent from the same period last year, driven by new Qantas services, while domestic passenger numbers are down 4.4 per cent.

“Over the past six months, we’ve made good progress on a number of projects, including the Lyall Bay redevelopment with the addition of new beachfront outlets set to open soon, our new airport fire station is taking shape and we’re progressing plans for the southern seawall upgrade. We’ve also started work on our expansion onto the site previously belonging to the Miramar Golf Club.

“Over the same period we’ve stepped up our Airport Carbon Accreditation to Level 4+, and are supporting the community in a variety of ways including the 20th year of our Community Awards and our new major sponsorship of Predator Free Wellington.”
