Wanaka Airport
Wanaka Airport is an airport serving the resort town of Wanaka in Otago, New Zealand. The airport currently has no scheduled commercial flights, with Air New Zealand having ceased flights to the airport in 2013, but it serves as a base for scenic and charter flights to destinations such as Milford Sound and Mount Aspiring National Park. The airport is located beside State Highway 6, on a plateau above the small village of Luggate, and is 10 km south-east of Wanaka township. It was originally a private airstrip owned by Tim Wallis, but in 1985 it became the main commercial airport for Wanaka, replacing Mt Iron Aerodrome.
The Warbirds over Wanaka air show has been held biennially at the airport since 1988, regularly attracting crowds of more than 50,000 people. Other attractions, including the National Transport and Toy Museum and the Warbirds & Wheels Museum, are also located at the airport.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Warbirds and Wheels - Contact and find us )〕
==History==
Wanaka was originally served by Mt Iron Aerodrome, but by the early 1980s it was clear that a new airport would be needed to serve the town's growing tourism industry, as Mount Iron's runway wasn't long enough for commercial aircraft, and there was no room to extend it. In 1984, the local council decided to create a new airport for the town by expanding a private airstrip to the south-east of the town, which had been owned by Tim Wallis. On 19 March 2004, Air New Zealand began scheduled services from Wanaka to Christchurch International Airport through its subsidiary Eagle Airways, using 19 seater Beechcraft 1900D aircraft.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Air New Zealand - History )〕 Larger aircraft, such as the Dash8-Q300, were occasionally used during periods of increased demand, including airshow weekends. Air New Zealand ended scheduled services to Wanaka on 30 January 2013, stating that the route had never been profitable and was showing no signs of improvement.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.voxy.co.nz/business/eagle-air-suspends-flights-wanaka/5/140566 )〕 Following the withdrawal of the national carrier, local businesses attempted to run a charter service during the ski season and have asked Air New Zealand to consider re-instating services on a seasonal basis using larger aircraft, although neither of these efforts proved successful.
