Dunedin International Airport guide

Dunedin Airport stands beside the village of Momona on the Taieri Plains, south-west of the city it serves. It is commonly called Momona Airport after that settlement. The site is flat farmland, so the approach is open and the airfield is less exposed to hill turbulence than many South Island strips.

The airport has a single asphalt runway, designated 03/21 and 1,900 metres long, with instrument landing systems at both ends. A single terminal building with five gates handles all passenger flights. Two of the gates have airbridges, and the rest are boarded from the apron. A redeveloped first-floor space in the terminal now holds dining and passenger areas, and the Air New Zealand Koru Lounge sits airside.

Traffic is mostly domestic. Air New Zealand links Dunedin with Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington. Jetstar flies to Auckland and, on the one international route, to the Gold Coast in Australia. Nearly 50,000 passengers used the Gold Coast service in its first year.

The airport has a postal address of 25 Miller Road, Momona. Travellers from the city reach it by driving south on State Highway 1, then turning onto State Highway 86 towards Allanton and following the signs.
