- Airport hours, customs, slots and restrictions must be confirmed with the airport. Runway length alone does not establish operational suitability.

The Southern Alps' resort airport, 15 minutes from Queenstown and 45 from Wanaka, ringed by terrain: RNP-AR approaches and crew qualification are required and weather diversions to Christchurch or Invercargill are common. Customs on site; peak ski season (July–September) and Christmas require early parking requests.
