Likely the largest airport on our trip, Rongotai Airport or Wellington International Airport likes 3nm southeast of the city’s centre and is a hub for Air New Zealand. Next to Auckland, the Wellington Airport is the second busiest airport in New Zealand handling a total of almost 3.5 million passengers in 2022. Due to the channelling effect of the Cook Strait creating strong and gusty winds, this airport is known for its sometimes rough and turbulent landings.
Directions: Fly out of Wellington heading northward across the bay and join highway 2 as it snakes its way through Kaitoke Regional Park. Stick with the highway until the town of Masterton. Just to the east of Masterton, you'll find highway 52 heading north into the hills; follow this road to Alfredton Airport.
