## Description

Ringed by the Southern Alps on the shore of Lake Wanaka, this Otago airfield is a playground for flight schools, scenic operators and general aviation, and every two years the stage for the Warbirds over Wanaka airshow. It carries no scheduled passenger or freighter services. Air cargo is simply not part of the picture in this outdoor-tourism town. Goods needing wings move through nearby Queenstown (ZQN) or Christchurch (CHC), the South Island's cargo gateway.
