Qantas and Air New Zealand have teamed up to publicly oppose the airport's latest plans to double landing fees over the next four years. They say prices are being hiked to fund a largely unnecessary redevelopment. But Chief Executive Carrie Hurihanganui told Mike Hosking charges will make up less than five percent of airfares in 2024.
