History
Wellington Airports had quite a history. It started with the name Rongotai in 1929. However, it had to close 20 years later due to safety reasons. In the winter it was not usable for Wellington arrivals when there was bad weather. The runways were made of grass. About 50 km north of the city, Paraparaumu Airport was opened for public flights. For further development, the terminal had to be relocated a few years later. It was opened in 1959. In order to land larger aircraft, the runway had to be extended by 300 meters to 1936 meters. In 1987 the old terminal was restored and the new terminal was expanded. Despite the renovations, consideration was given to realizing a new airport. However, this fell through and a completely new terminal was built, which was taken into use in 1999.
Transportation
There are several bus services available at the airport to get to the center. A taxi is also available for around NZD 40. Another popular option is to rent a car or RV. Europcar, Avis, Hertz, Thrifty, Budget and Enterprise are available at the airport.
Terminal Wellington Airport
The airport terminal has several floors. On the ground floor, the Wellington arrivals come for their luggage where there are 3 belts. For check-in and departure, security and gates you have to be on Level 1. On Level 2 is the New Zealand Air Lounge and you can go to the Rydges hotel.
