Story

Der Flughafen Christchurch ist der größte von drei Flugplätzen von Christchurch, Neuseeland. Der Flughafen befindet sich ca. 9 km nordwestlich des Stadtzentrums im Vorort Harewood. Aufgrund steigender Passagierzahlen wurde der Flughafen bis 2009 für 200 Mio. Dollar erweitert.Direkt an den Flughafen angegliedert ist eine Basis der Firma Garden City Helicopters, die dort Ambulanzflugzeuge sowie einen Rettungshubschrauber stationiert hat. Weiteren Flugbetrieb mit Hubschraubern führt die Firma Christchurch Helicopters durch, die ihre Basis im Westen des Flughafens hat. Daneben befindet sich der Canterbury Aero Club, zu dem die Graspiste 01/19 gehört.Die Start- und Landebahn 02/20 ist nahezu rechtwinklig zur vorherrschenden Hauptwindrichtung ausgerichtet. Daher gibt es zusätzlich die kleinere Bahn 11/29 rechtwinklig zur großen Bahn. Die kleine Bahn wird regelmäßig von Flugzeugen bis zur Größe einer Boeing 767 benutzt.GeschichteDer Christchurch City Council beschloss 1935 den Bau des Flugplatzes in Harewood. 1936 wurden 227 ha Land gekauft und 1937 wurden eine 915 m lange Startbahn und ein kleines Terminalgebäude errichtet. 1940 wurde der Flugplatz unter dem Namen „Harewood Airport“ für den kommerziellen Flugbetrieb eröffnet und während des Zweiten Weltkriegs auch von der Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) zum Training benutzt.1948 wurden weitere 260 ha Land gekauft und ab 1950 war Christchurch der erste internationale Flughafen von Neuseeland. 1953 wurde die „Great London to Christchurch Air Race“ veranstaltet, bei der die Strecke von London nach Christchurch zum ersten Mal in weniger als 24 Stunden zurückgelegt wurde. Ab 1955 begannen der Flugbetrieb der US Air Force zur Erforschung der Antarktis.

Restaurants and Cafe's, lounges, children play areas, duty free, convenience stores, local handicrafts, travel accessories, and much more
Beautiful city full of character and fun! From the gardens and lovely tapas and sangria for lunch followed by some boogies in the garden to Dub/reggae free concert and a wander around. Stayed in Lyttleton and beautiful sunset!
The drop off area at the airport is decently sized. I was able to repack the bags there before heading into the terminal. The terminal itself ws fairly easy to get around even though it was fairly big. It was only for a domestic flight. There were quite a few table with chargers and plugs which was handy for electronic devices. The airport also did have free wifi.
all in one airport, free water provided in front of the toilet. a lot of rest space, excellent and helpful staff, a lot of coffee shops. Easy to walk back and forward. To/from Bus station at International side exit door 9. The bus station is outside.
The airport is bright with clear pathways, and is considered a medium-sized airport. The restrooms are clean and the surrounding scenery is pleasant, with fresh air.
There was coffee and a shop was open. Very much appreciated since it was 4 am we had to be at the airport The girls at Alps did a sterling job cause there was a seemingly never ending stream of people needing their caffeine fix. Upholstery of some chairs in a other part of the waiting area was a bit gross and covered in stains.
Don't frown. 2 is way better than 1 which is what most airports rate. Everything is always expensive. Everything is always slow and ponderous. I so pity airport workers. Their jobs are numbingly boring. Good view. People are friendly. Food choices a bit parochial.
Small but organized airport. International and domestic flights are available. You can change money in the airport before go to city. Public bus need small change.
Spacious and spotleslesly clean. It is very welcoming and a fitting representation of how beautiful the South Island is. Warm and friendly atmosphere. Easy to navigate.
Excellent airport with seamless flow between domestic and international. Christchurch airport is streets ahead of Auckland when it comes to user experience and why they don't put more international flights into Christchurch rather than Auckland
