## Description

Air Chathams keeps Whanganui (formerly Wanganui) on the map, flying the riverside Manawatū town to Auckland alongside general-aviation and charter traffic. The airport has no dedicated freight terminal, so cargo rides only in the belly of those passenger flights. Regional output from this farming and manufacturing district largely moves by road. Larger air shipments are channelled through Palmerston North (PMR) or Auckland (AKL), the national cargo gateway.
