Christchurch Airport Transfer (CHC)

Christchurch International Airport (IATA: CHC) is the South Island's primary airport, handling both international and domestic traffic. The terminal is 10 kilometres northwest of the city centre via Memorial Avenue. International and domestic arrivals share the same building with separate exits. Uber and metered taxis both operate from outside the terminal; a LocalsRide driver meets you inside with a name sign — no waiting at the kerbside in Christchurch's frequently breezy arrivals area.
