Queenstown Airport chief executive Shane O’Hare says the partnership aligns with the airport’s strategic goals and its ambition to be the world’s most bike-friendly airport.
‘Queenstown Trails has built an exceptional network of trails that connect communities, encourage active transport, and help people experience some of the most spectacular landscapes in New Zealand.’
The airport will contribute $20,000 a year towards further development of the Queenstown Trails network, which covers more than 200 kilometres. It will also collaborate on promoting the trails.
Queenstown Trails Trust chief executive Mark Williams says Queenstown Airport has become an important regional and international gateway for cycle tourism. Visitors able to start their trail journey from right outside the terminal and ride on a connected network of the Ngā Haerenga New Zealand Cycle Trails.
