Leaving Nelson, NZ

Featured Replies

Established in 1841, Nelson is the oldest city in NZ’s South Island and is located on the eastern shores of Tasman Bay. The airport is primarily used for domestic flights and is the fifth-busiest in New Zealand by passenger numbers. During scheduled hours a plane lands or takes off around every four to five minutes.  

Before we can park our car, we need a ticket

Btw, all the photos of New Zealand you see here in the terminal are animated, they change every few seconds or so. Very impressive!

Great shots, not sure about the above figures though. Maybe 4-5 per hour at peak times.

I have never been to Nelson, so I took this figure from Wikipedia:

Transport[edit]

Air transport[edit]

Nelson Airport is located southwest of the city, at Annesbrook. The airport operates a single terminal and 1,347-metre (4,420 ft) runway, and in 2018 was the fifth-busiest airport in New Zealand by passenger numbers.[85] There are more than a million passenger movements using the airport terminal annually and the airport averages 90 aircraft movements every day, with a plane taking off or landing every 4.5 minutes during scheduled hours.

27 scheduled departures tomorrow, between 6am and 7pm. Plus the odd tourist scenic flight.

Such a grand lookaround. My previous visits to Nelson (in FSX) can't begin to compare.

As I'm a very modest person, "Sir Bernd" will do 😂😂

Just kidding of course. I'm happy with "Bernd" 🙂

Many thanks, P_7878. The line was too long and as I  find photos of big crowds lining up at check-in a bit boring, I decided to take a photo of the friendly gentleman at the Premium check-in counter 😄😄
