Nelson Airport (Māori: ''Te Papa Waka Rererangi o Whakatū'', ) is located 6 km southwest of the city, in the suburb of Annesbrook, in Nelson, New Zealand. Approximately 1.2 million passengers and visitors use the airport terminal annually.〔(Welcome to Nelson Airport )〕 Total passenger numbers for the 2015 financial year were 746,109.〔http://www.nelsonairport.co.nz/air/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/NLA18830-Annual-Report-2015.pdf〕 It is currently the sixth busiest airport in New Zealand by passengers and seventh by aircraft movements.〔List of the busiest airports in New Zealand〕 ==History== Construction of Nelson Airport commenced in 1937.〔Nelson Aerodrome, Evening Post, Volume CXXIII, Issue 32, 8 February 1937, Page 7〕 In 2006, the airport received restricted international airport status and it has handled international private jets since then. The airport averages 60 commercial flights per day. The Airport precinct is home to 35 aeronautical and support businesses.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.nelsonairport.co.nz/company-information/ )〕 Nelson airport is the home base of Air Nelson operating under the Air NZ Link banner, which operates a fleet of Bombardier Dash 8 Q300s on national air routes. Air New Zealand, Air Nelson's parent airline, recently expanded its Nelson base, investing 30 million dollars to develop the engineering and technical workshops. Air New Zealand then announced the Air Nelson maintenance facility would also handle fellow subsidiary Mount Cook Airline's fleet of ATR 72-500/600 aircraft. The airport has a single terminal building with 9 tarmac gates. A further 7 remote gates are located adjacent to the terminal. In 2014, Nelson City Council deemed the main terminal of Nelson Airport an earthquake risk and at fault of possible liquefaction. The airport has been granted 10 years to upgrade the terminal to meet current building standards. The Nelson Airport management on 8 September 2015 have decided to rebuild the terminal instead of renovating the existing complex as this will best meet the growth needs in the future. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nelson Airport (New Zealand)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
