Getting to and from Queenstown Airport
Queenstown Airport is at Frankton, about 8 km east of central Queenstown.
Orbus route 1 runs into town roughly every 15 minutes, and taxis and shared door-to-door shuttle vans wait outside the terminal.
The airport sits in a basin of mountains, so low cloud occasionally delays or diverts flights. Leave some slack between your landing time and anything booked for the same day.

Meeting a flight at Queenstown Airport
- Check the board again just before you leave. Estimated landing times often change while a flight is in the air.
- "Landed" means the aircraft is on the ground, not that passengers are out. Allow time for taxiing, disembarking and baggage, and longer after an international flight with passport and customs checks.
- If a flight disappears from the board or shows as cancelled, the airline will have the latest rebooking information.
- Picking up a rental car? If your flight is late, contact the rental company before the desk's closing time.
