Queenstown Airport Car Hire

Queenstown Airport (IATA code ZQN) is located in Frankton, Otago, New Zealand, and serves the stunning  resort town of Queenstown, handling more than 700,000 airline scheduled passengers a year, which is growing rapidly.

The majority of scheduled flights are domestic, with a few international flights weekly to Sydney. The winter ski seasons are busy with extra international flights being flown by both Qantas (Boeing 737-800's) and Air New Zealand (Airbus A320's / Boeing 737-300's). In September 2007 the airport completed a $31 million upgrade with increased terminal capacity and an extended apron for international flights. Weather permitting, there is substantial daily charter traffic of light aircraft (mostly Britten-Norman Islander, Cessna 206, Cessna 172) to Milford Sound and on sightseeing trips. Helicopters are also very active.
