“Naming it Sir Tim Shadbolt Airport is a great reflection of Sir Tim’s promotion of Invercargill and the region as well as his connections across New Zealand and globally."
He did a lot of work to get the airport up to international standards. This is what makes the airport suitable for direct Jet flights to and from Auckland

Nothing should be named after an alleged wife-beater.
Pretty sure there are many places named after people who allegedly did all sorts of bad stuff.
Best to be kind and focus on positive aspects
Nah, he's a piece of shit and you are too if you want to paper over his misdeeds just because he was mayor for way too long.
