With over 100 daily flights and 15 direct domestic destinations from Christchurch, your gateway to the South Island is also your connection to the rest of New Zealand. Whether you’re travelling for work, for a weekend escape, or for a long-overdue family reunion, every flight brings you closer to what matters most.

Travel for business and beyond

For business travellers, time and reliability are everything. That’s why flying from Christchurch is designed to be effortless, with frequent daily departures to major centres like Auckland, Wellington and Hamilton. It means you can leave in the morning, get the job done, and be back in your own bed the same night.

But business connections aren’t just about meetings, they’re about growing networks, building partnerships and creating opportunities. Each flight keeps New Zealand’s industries moving, supporting growth across regions.

Adventures waiting just a flight away

For leisure travellers, Christchurch Airport makes holidaying around New Zealand simple. With 15 direct domestic routes, your next getaway is only a short flight away.

Thinking about the North Island? A jet flight to Hamilton opens the door to the mighty Waikato,  home of glowworm caves, black sand surf beaches, and the magic of Hobbiton™. Or perhaps it’s Wellington you’re after, with arts, food and coffee culture at your fingertips. Further north, Auckland offers world-class dining and shopping.

Prefer to stay closer to home? Direct flights connect you to some of the South Island’s most spectacular regions, from Nelson’s golden bays to Dunedin’s heritage streets and Invercargill’s southern adventures. Each route is a chance to discover somewhere new, or to revisit somewhere that feels like home.

Making memories together

Flying is about more than travel, it’s about connection. It’s grandparents meeting a new grandchild, friends reuniting for a weekend away, or couples discovering a new favourite place together. These are the moments that matter, and with over 100 daily flights, they’re happening every single day.

At Christchurch Airport, we’re proud to be part of those stories. Because when we say every flight connects you, we mean it – whether it’s reconnecting with family, exploring hidden gems, or grabbing a new business opportunity.
