Wellington International Airport
When you travel to New Zealand from another country, you’ll probably
arrive here at one of four major airports — Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch,
or Queenstown. Wellington International Airport is the country’’s newest airline terminal, opening just a few years ago.
As Wellington becomes an increasingly popular tourist destination, it is handling larger and larger numbers of international visitors.
