Alexandra Aerodrome

Alexandra Aerodrome is an aerodrome 2 NM (3.7 km) northwest of Alexandra, New Zealand.

History
The aerodrome saw South Pacific Airlines of New Zealand (SPANZ) operate Douglas DC-3 services from December 1960 to February 1966; then Mount Cook Airlines used Britten-Norman Islanders from 1969 to 1991, connecting to Dunedin and Queenstown. Goldfields Air flew during 1985–86 to Christchurch. Pacifica Air flew into Alexandra during 1988–89; and Airlink during 1989.

In 2007-2008 Mainland Air trialled scheduled services from Dunedin to Alexandra and Queenstown, but due to lack of patronage these did not continue. Mainland Aviation College, a division of Mainland Air, set up a flight training college in late 2009 which no longer operates in Alexandra. Nowadays, the Central Otago Flying Club now operates a Cessna fleet consisting of a Cessna 172 (ZK-XPD) and a Cessna 150 (ZK-DNO) which are available for hire for club members, and are used for flight training.
