Chief Executive Norfolk Air, Ewan Wilson said "
Hamilton and the Waikato is a world class destination. Combine that with the V8 Super Car event and the fact that
Norfolk Island as a destination is particularly popular in the Waikato, and the School holidays means that this is a
unique opportunity. We are attracted by the superb airport facilities which are uncongested, and an airport company who
are dynamic and innovative. Operationally Hamilton is a dream. It is the first time that we have been able to promote
through traffic and connect our two major markets. We are excited by that!"
Chief Executive, Hamilton International Airport, Chris Doak said "We are delighted that Norfolk Air has chosen Hamilton
International Airport, it's a confirmation that our airport facilities are world class. Norfolk Air will be the first
new international airline in eleven years. We look forward to welcoming them."
