General Information About Queenstown Airport

Queenstown Airport serves as the primary access point to Queenstown and New Zealand's lower South Island, receiving daily international services from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane as well as year-round domestic flights from Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.

Air New Zealand, Jetstar Airways and Qantas operate flights between Queenstown and Frankton airport. Queenstown's Frankton airport boasts one of the world's most scenic approaches due to its lush landscape and majestic mountain peaks surrounding its runway.

In 2011, new runway lights were unveiled at Wellington airport and became the last major airport in New Zealand to undergo such an upgrade. This project aimed at increasing night-time visibility while simultaneously decreasing diversion rates and expanding airspace capacity.

Queenstown Airport pilots in 2012 created a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) designed to assist them when flying after-dark flights at this airport, and to increase safety both for them and passengers flying to/from Queenstown. This SOP serves both purposes.
