LEITNER to build Oceania’s first urban ropeway

Preparations for a genuine mobility revolution are currently underway in Queenstown, on New Zealand’s South Island. In a competitive tender process that began in May, LEITNER has now been officially selected to build Oceania’s first urban ropeway. It will connect Queenstown Airport via the Frankton bus station to the city center. The anticipated travel time is around 20 minutes and offers a reliable alternative to the heavily congested Frankton Road, as well as panoramic views over Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables. The 200 million euro Queenstown ropeway network is expected to be operational by 2029.
