Queenstown Airport is one of Australasia’s fastest growing Airports and is ranked as the fourth busiest of New Zealand’s airports for aircraft movements.

Located at Frankton in New Zealand’s South Island, it serves the resort town of Queenstown and will be handling around one million passengers in 2012.

Air New Zealand, Jetstar, Qantas and Virgin Australia with direct international flights to/from Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane service the Airport.

It is also one of New Zealand’s busiest helicopter centres and is base for several flightseeing operations.

The Airport is a bustling commercial hub with more than 300 people working at some 60-tenant businesses operating inside the terminal building and within the wider airport perimeter.
