Under Construction

The project involves the installation of engineered materials arresting system (EMAS) beds at each end of the main runway at Queenstown Airport. This safety improvement aims to increase the margin of safety from a minimum runway end safety area (RESA) of 90 metres to the equivalent of a 240m RESA, using energy-absorbing cellular cement blocks designed to safely stop aircraft in case of overruns.
