Wanaka Airport is the airport servicing the town of Wanaka, Otago, New Zealand and the surrounding ski fields. It is also the host of the biennial Warbirds over Wanaka air show and serves as a base for sightseeing flights to Milford Sound and Mount Aspiring National Park. The airport is located beside Highway 6, which is 10 km south-east from the centre of Wanaka township on a plateau above the small hamlet of Luggate. It replaced the original Mt Iron airstrip that was used up until 1985.
The lack of a VHF omnidirectional range beacon at the airport poses an issue for some aircraft. Not many aircraft have appropriate GPS systems to enable non-precision instrument approaches in bad weather.
The airport is the site of the biennial Warbirds over Wanaka international airshow. The National Transport and Toy Museum and the Warbirds & Wheels museum are also located at the airport.
