Kia ora,
As the seasons turn, we’re embracing everything autumn has to offer in Nelson-Tasman – a new freshness in the morning air, crystal-clear skies with lingering warmth throughout the day and the promise of delicious local produce from the season’s harvest of apples, grapes and hops.
It’s a great time to experience our region, with events including Marchfest, Tuku 25 and Jewellery Week. We’re proud to support the NBS Nelson Giants as they kick off their hunt for NBL glory in 2025 (Go Giants!), and to give them an extra boost we’re going to fly two Giants fans to Auckland to support the team when they take on the Panthers. Read on to find out how to enter!
We’re busy at the airport making sure this region’s air transport infrastructure is fit for purpose and able to meet the needs of our communities well into the future. Our $10 million apron reconstruction project is in full swing and progress is being made on our future runway extension plans through Project 2-Zero.
Our annual customer survey is open, and we’re asking travellers and the wider community for feedback on how we’re doing. We’d love it if you would take the time to share your thoughts. Every year this survey gives us valuable insights into what we’re doing well and what we need to work on to make sure the Nelson Airport experience remains a great one.
Thanks for reading - I hope you enjoy the updates on all our airport news, plus the chance to win a host of great prizes this autumn!
Hei konā mai (Bye for now)

Chief Executive
