Delivering a future-ready airport that people love to travel through, and the community takes pride in

Queenstown Airport is planning for tomorrow – today. Guided by our Master Plan, we’re delivering a staged programme of infrastructure upgrades that respond to growing travel demand and the evolving needs of our passengers, airline partners, and community. Horizon‑ZQN will bring three interconnected development precincts to life over the next decade:

  • Terminal Development Precinct – a more spacious, customer‑centric terminal that captures the essence of Queenstown and meets the operational demands of a growing, future-focused international airport. 
  • Airfield Development Precinct – enhancing airfield safety, efficiency, and resilience.
  • Landside Development Precinct – seamless journeys to and from the plane, with better public and active transport connections, and smoother traffic flow.
