## Description

Air Safaris is the operator that gives Glentanner Airport (IATA: GTN, ICAO: NZGT) its purpose, flying alpine sightseeing routes over the glaciers of the Aoraki/Mount Cook and Westland national parks. The field beside Lake Pukaki has a single 965-metre sealed runway 15/33 at about 556 metres elevation, with no terminal, no handling agent and no freight facilities. Helicopter excursions also depart from adjacent Glentanner Park, a fifteen-minute drive south of Mount Cook Village on the main highway. For logistics purposes the airport is irrelevant: there is no scheduled service and no customs clearance on site. Air cargo for the Mackenzie Basin and the wider Canterbury region is handled at Christchurch (CHC), roughly 200 road kilometres to the north-east, with Queenstown (ZQN) as a southern alternative. The final leg runs by truck along State Highways 8 and 80.
