Nelson Airport is located approximately 6 km from Nelson's city centre in the suburb of Annesbrook. There are several ways to make this drive, including via Whakatu Drive to arrive in Nelson from the south or via State Highway 6 to arrive from the west. Both routes take roughly 10 to 12 minutes and consist of well-paved two-lane roads. The SH6 route is particularly scenic as it skirts the coast of Tasman Bay.

Nelson Airport is the sixth-busiest in the country and an important travel hub for the South Island's north coast. Over a million passengers travel through the airport each year, making it the busiest airport in New Zealand without any international routes. Instead, domestic flights are available to Auckland, Christchurch, Hamilton, Kapiti Coast, Karamea, Palmerston North, Takaka and Wellington.

Nelson Airport is the only airport serving Nelson and the Tasman Bay area. It offers convenient access not only to Nelson and its fantastic museums but also to settlements along the coast like Motueka and Havelock. It's also noted for its local road links to Mount Richmond Forest Park and Kahurangi National Park, two exceptional wildernesses. Car hires in Nelson Airport offer excellent road-tripping opportunities as Nelson is situated on the famed SH6 for travel across the South Island.
