Airports

There are two major airports in the Queenstown Lakes District.

Queenstown Airport

The Queenstown airport is owned by the community and managed by the Queenstown Airport Corporation.

The airport redevelopment was completed and officially opened by then Prime Minister Helen Clark in 2007. The result is a high class international airport that the community can be proud of.
