visABILITY is a new web-based system that allows Christchurch Airport staff, to report any concerns related to health and safety instantly.

The website is unique and has attracted interest from airports and other businesses in New Zealand and Australia.
The Airport’s Chief Operating Officer Andy Lester is rapt with the award.
“It is fantastic recognition from our peers and a huge pat on the back for the entire Christchurch Airport team,” says Andy.
