What is this website for?
The New Zealand Aeronautical Information Publication AIP is published by Airways New Zealand (Aeropath); access to the official portal may require registration. This website aims to simplify the search for airfields, as the official AIP does not include a search function. We do not accept any liability for the accuracy or timeliness of the AIP (Aeronautical Information Publication), as it is not published by us. We only provide convenient links to the respective approach charts.
