Residents from Khandallah and Broadmeadows are seeking a judicial review against Airways, the Director of Civil Aviation, and Wellington Airport. They claim a 2022 flight path change is unlawful and has increased noise levels in their suburbs. The group argues that the new paths, which involve 38 daily flights, have disrupted their peace.
