Pilots

The Nelson Airport is located near downtown Nelson. It is owned by the City of Nelson, and operated by the Nelson and District Airport Society. The airport offers a 3100ft paved runway, fuel (100LL/Jet A), and a recently refurbished terminal with free WIFI and coffee.

Come prepared for challenging, non-standard circuit procedures. Arrival and departures are offset, watch for wildlife on the runway and year round paragliding activities.
