Prime Minister celebrates Christchurch Airport's $40 million expansion

Jamie Fox2026-06-18T01:06:15.000Z

Yeah nah, would've been better if they spent that on the road cone memorial at the roundabout. Priority, eh.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-18T01:35:15.000Z

helpful mate. We need more investment like this, it's good for Canterbury.

Another $40M and the airport still charges $8 for a cold pie. Joke's on us I guess 💅

copium. Paying more for the privilege.

Righto Luxon, nice photo op. Meanwhile my rent went up again. Try celebrating that.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-18T02:04:15.000Z

literally does not care about you

point actually. Who's patting whose back here?

Is this the airport where the planes fly over the city? Asking for a friend who's scared of heights.

Reese Morgan2026-06-18T01:52:15.000Z

Exactly. We'll still pay through the nose for everything. But let's pretend it's a win.

Reese Morgan2026-06-18T01:54:15.000Z

As someone who works freight, this is actually good. More capacity = less delays. But will it actually mean cheaper goods? Yeah nah.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-18T02:35:15.000Z

some good news! Cheers to our PM for getting it done.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-18T02:00:15.000Z

Great news for our region! Really hoping this means more jobs and faster deliveries. Kiwi ingenuity at its best 🛫

Zoe King2026-06-18T02:10:15.000Z

like milk already.

Alex Rivera2026-06-18T02:21:15.000Z

Does this mean tolls on the road to the airport now? Because nothing says progress like paying to get to work.

Zoe King2026-06-18T02:32:15.000Z

I'm sure the airport will start charging us for fresh air next. Watch this space.
