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.   See related links for information about the Queenstown Airport Corporation.

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