Hidden Disabilities Sunflower

Nelson Airport is part of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower scheme supporting people with disabilities that may not be so obvious to the casual observer. You can choose to wear a lanyard bearing a sunflower logo as a subtle way of letting others know that they may require additional support, assistance or a bit more time. You can pick up a sunflower lanyard at the Customer Service desk in the terminal.
