One of those was a report to Finance Minister Nicola Willis and State Owned Enterprises Minister Simeon Brown entitled "Dunedin Airport Land Acquisition". Dunedin Airport chief executive Daniel De Bono said he could not comment on the land acquisition for the time being. Mainland Air chief executive Phil Kean said he had heard Dunedin Airport was in negotiations to buy another section of farmland on the western side of the airport. The Dunedin City Council’s rating information database confirmed the airport owned a 64ha section of farmland used for dairying, valued at $3.21m.
