Wellybob Airport and the local council have teamed up to make sure everyone arriving in the capital knows where they are – as apparently the bouncy approach and bumpy landing aren’t enough of a clue – by erecting an enormous ‘Wellywood’ sign. Yesterday’s announcement of the plan, which already has resource consent, has drawn bouquets and brickbats in equal measure.
Airport CEO Steve Fitzgerald claimed, “A well-functioning, well-designed and conveniently located airport helps convey a sense of reassurance to creative professionals who venture to the other side of the world to make movies.”
