NZQN to NZWN
The airport has a reputation for sometimes rough and turbulent landings, even in larger aircraft, due to the channelling effect of Cook Strait creating strong and gusty winds, especially in pre-frontal north westerly conditions. This is a leg of 346 nm (641 km) from Queenstown International Airport (ZQN/NZQN) to Wellington International Airport (WLG/NZWN) .
