Queenstown International Airport
When you travel to New Zealand from another country, you’ll probably
arrive here at one of four major airports — Queenstown, Wellington, Christchurch,
or Queenstown. The approach to Queenstown International Airport is one of the most dramatic in
the world — surrounded on both sides by spectacular, rugged mountains. As former US President Bill Clinton recently said, ‘‘When we were coming in the airplane, everybody
was just gasping when we saw the landscape. It’s just so beautiful.’’ Queenstown Airport, located close to town in the lakeside suburb of Frankton, is currently being
redeveloped.
