## Description

On Raratoka Island (Centre Island) in Foveaux Strait off the Southland coast, the Center Island Airstrip is a basic landing strip used by private and charter aircraft; it has no IATA or ICAO code, no scheduled service and no cargo handling. It plays no role in air freight: consignments move through Invercargill (IVC) on the mainland, with Christchurch (CHC) or Auckland (AKL) handling international and intercontinental traffic. Goods bound for the island normally travel by boat rather than by air.
