regional international airports, such as Cairns Airport, even more attractive ports of call for
international airlines and tourists
Foreign airlines that make stopovers at regional international airports will be offered greater

In future bilateral negotiations, foreign airlines will be offered greater "beyond rights" from
regional international airports to New Zealand and/or the Pacific Islands (subject to agreement
by those countries).
