About Picton Aerodrome
Picton Aerodrome is a small regional airfield serving Picton and the Marlborough District at the top of New Zealand's South Island. Located at Koromiko, it sits about 8 km south of the Picton town centre and operates as a non-certificated aerodrome with scheduled passenger services.
The aerodrome is best known as the Picton base for Sounds Air, which connects the town with Wellington on short scheduled flights of roughly 30 minutes. This makes it a practical air gateway for travellers heading to the Marlborough Sounds, the Queen Charlotte Track and Picton's inter-island ferry terminal.
Aircraft operations use a single sealed runway aligned 18/36 and about 840 m long, with a small terminal building handling check-in and arrivals. The nearby Marlborough Sounds Airpark provides private hangar space adjacent to the main runway.
Access to Picton is straightforward by shuttle, taxi, private transfer or rental car, with paid parking available at the aerodrome. Its compact scale and simple layout keep the airport experience quick and easy for regional travellers.
