Picton Aerodrome (PCN/NZPN) is a small regional aerodrome at Koromiko, about 8 km south of Picton in the Marlborough region. It primarily handles scheduled Sounds Air flights to Wellington, along with scenic, private, and flight-training traffic. Its compact, low-key setup makes it a convenient alternative to Blenheim Airport for travellers heading to the Marlborough Sounds.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know to request a window seat on the Wellington route; the short hop over Queen Charlotte Sound and Cook Strait offers some of the best aerial scenery in New Zealand.
🚖 Getting There
The airport sits just off State Highway 1 at Koromiko, so a rental car, taxi, or pre-booked shuttle is the most practical way to reach Picton, the ferry terminals, or Blenheim. Public transport is limited, so arrange transfers in advance, especially for early departures. If connecting to the Cook Strait ferry, allow at least 30–45 minutes between the airport and ferry check-in.
