    Queenstown Airport's flying high, thanks to a surge in visitors

    Queenstown Airport's flying high, thanks to a surge in visitors


    It's been named Large Airport of the Year at the national awards - with judges praising its strong safety record, commercial success, and community engagement.

    They were also impressed with its new end-of-runway safety system.

    Chief operating officer Todd Grace says the airport's seen strong growth since Covid.

    He says they're the only airport in New Zealand back past pre-Covid levels.
