Wellington International Airport

Wellington International Airport (NZWN) sits 3 miles southeast of central Wellington, New Zealand. The single 6,351 ft runway handles every current business jet up through midsize; some heavy iron is gross-weight limited and the surrounding terrain + crosswind exposure make Wellington one of the more demanding airports in the Western world (per pilot consensus). Field elevation 41 ft, no density-altitude concerns. Wellington is New Zealand's political capital. Ground time to downtown Wellington is 10 minutes.

Wellington International Airport — formerly known as Rongotai Aerodrome or Rongotai Airport, or simply Wellington Airport — is an international airport located in the suburb of Rongotai in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. It lies 5.5 km south-east from the city centre. It is a hub for Air New Zealand and Sounds Air. Wellington International Airport Limited, a joint venture between Infratil and the Wellington City Council, operates the airport. Wellington is the third busiest airport in New Zealand after Auckland and Christchurch, handling a total of 3,455,858 passengers in the year ending June 2022, and the third busiest in terms of aircraft movements. The airport, in addition to linking many New Zealand destinations with national and regional carriers, also has links to major cities in eastern Australia. It is the home of some smaller general aviation businesses, including the Wellington Aero Club, which operates from the general aviation area on the western side of the runway.
