Overview
About Invercargill Airport
Invercargill Airport is a fully secured controlled domestic designated airport located 1.6 km west of the central business district of Invercargill at the bottom of the South Island of New Zealand. It is the southernmost controlled airport in New Zealand and the Commonwealth of Nations. Formed on land reclaimed from the Waihopai/New River Estuary in 1938, the airport was prone to flooding, notably in 1984 when it was inoperable for two months.
