How many airports does New Zealand have?

37 airports in New Zealand carry an IATA location identifier in AirScanner's reference. That counts airports with a code, which is what an air waybill needs — it is not the total number of airfields, most of which never see commercial cargo.

Which airports in New Zealand handle air cargo?

No airport in New Zealand is a cargo hub in AirScanner's routing model. That is a statement about our 46-carrier registry and not about the country — cargo moves through airports that host no carrier's hub, usually connecting through a hub elsewhere in the region.

"Cargo hub" means a carrier in AirScanner's 46-airline registry bases its cargo operation at that airport. An airport without the marker still accepts cargo — it simply is not a hub in this model.
