From November 2024 to late 2025, we’re rebuilding the airport apron to ensure a safer, higher-quality experience for everyone. The new design will streamline terminal access for all airlines and extend the covered walkway for added comfort.

The Southern Development Area will unlock new opportunities for aviation businesses at Nelson Airport. With smart planning and a focus on sustainability, we’re building a future-ready airport precinct that keeps Nelson connected and thriving.

We're upgrading our parking systems to provide easier payment options and online booking. Plus, we're going ticketless, which is easier for customers and kinder on the environment.
