(Wellington, North Island, New Zealand NZ)
One of New Zealand's largest and busiest airports, after only Auckland and Christchurch, Wellington Airport (WLG) is served by many domestic and international airlines. Air Zealand has a notable presence here, along with Jetstar Airways, Qantas and Virgin Australia.
Wellington's busy air facility resides on the Rongotai isthmus, between the city itself and the Miramar Peninsula. It comes with a single runway capable of handling Airbus planes and giant Boeing jets. The city's harbourfront lies directly to the north, while the Cook Strait is to be found to the south.
There is just one main terminal based here, which is split into three piers, named North-West, South and South-West. The ground floor is home to the luggage reclaim area, while the first level is where you will find the main check-in area.
