## Description

Southland's dairy, meat and aquaculture output gives Invercargill Airport (IVC) its freight character as mainland New Zealand's southernmost commercial airport. Air New Zealand links it to Christchurch and Wellington, carrying courier and general cargo in the hold, complemented by a domestic freight despatch service at the terminal. Forwarders such as Mainfreight use the field for national road-air feeder movements. International export air cargo — Bluff oysters or premium dairy among it — generally clears through Christchurch (CHC) and Auckland (AKL). At just five feet of elevation and close to Bluff harbour, the airport anchors the southern end of the national supply chain. For logistics operators, its value lies in dependable daily connectivity to the north.
