Wellington Airport is New Zealand's largest international airport. Its former name is Rongotai Airport, which has the same name as the isthmus of the island on which it is located. For the first time, Rongotai Airport began to be used almost a hundred years ago and looked like a runway cleared of grass for local aircraft. In the middle of the last century it was closed and only by 1958 the airport acquired a new name - Wellington, was reconstructed and reopened for civil aviation.
Since then, this ancient airport has been modernized several times and from a corrugated iron hangar, it has turned into a modern international airport that meets the highest requirements. Its location just 7 km from the capital of New Zealand, Wellington, makes this airport attractive for tourists, commercial flights, and business aviation. The development of the airport continues to this day.
Wellington Airport currently has a capacity of about 1,000 people per hour. The modern building has everything to make tourists feel comfortable, restaurants and lounges, Vip zones and shops, rental companies, internet and currency exchange offices.
