Independent Commissioners recommended approving the airport's planning changes for a 163-metre extension in December.
Nelson Airport decided to accept the recommendations in full yesterday.
Its notice or requirement would designate land required for a future northern runway extension and update the airport's noise control boundaries.
Currently, airlines have to offload passengers or cargo in some weather conditions due to the short runway.
