Dunedin International Airport serves the South Island city of Dunedin, a university town known for its Scottish heritage, Victorian architecture, and wildlife-rich Otago Peninsula. Opened in its current form in the 1960s and expanded over subsequent decades, the airport handles both domestic and limited international services, connecting the region to major New Zealand hubs and select Australian cities. It plays a vital role as the primary air gateway for the Otago and Southland regions.

- Taxi and rideshare services available at the terminal forecourt
- Connectabus public bus service linking the airport to central Dunedin
- Rental car counters from major operators including Avis, Hertz, and Budget

Inside the terminal, travellers will find a small selection of cafés and snack outlets serving light meals, coffee, and New Zealand-made products. Options are limited by the airport's boutique size, so it is worth eating before arrival if travelling on an early or late flight. The nearby suburb of Mosgiel and Dunedin city centre, roughly 30 minutes away, offer a far wider range of dining experiences.
- Allow extra time for road transfers as the airport is about 30 km from the city centre via State Highway 1.
- Weather in Dunedin can change rapidly; check forecasts as fog occasionally causes flight delays.
- Book ground transport in advance during university orientation weeks or major events when demand is high.
- Hire a car if you plan to explore the Otago Peninsula or Central Otago wine country, as public transport options beyond the city are limited.
