About Airport Streams
New Zealand's live aviation streaming platform.
WHAT IS AIRPORT STREAMS
Airport Streams broadcasts live aviation from New Zealand airports — giving aviation enthusiasts, spotters, frequent flyers, and curious viewers a front-row seat to the aircraft arriving and departing at some of New Zealand's most scenic airports.
From the dramatic mountain approaches at Queenstown to the busy South Island hub of Christchurch, Airport Streams captures the everyday and the extraordinary — Air New Zealand narrowbodies, international widebodies, scenic charter flights, and the occasional rare visitor.
THE PLATFORM
The Airport Streams website is built around the live streams, giving you tools to get more from every broadcast:
- Live flight board — see what's arriving and departing in real time using ADS-B data
- Aircraft Explorer — search 18,000+ aircraft registrations with appearance history
- Stream Archive — every past broadcast with timestamped highlights and aircraft lists
- Capture My Flight — request your own flight be captured live on stream
- Community — follow aircraft, earn achievements, and upload to the gallery
WHERE WE STREAM
Airport Streams currently broadcasts from Christchurch (CHC), Queenstown (ZQN), Wellington (WLG) and Auckland (AKL). Each airport has its own character — the Remarkables backdrop at Queenstown, Cook Strait crosswinds at Wellington, or the busy international traffic at Christchurch.
