Greymouth Airport (IATA: GMN, ICAO: NZGM) is a small, uncontrolled aerodrome located in the suburb of Blaketown, 1 Nautical mile (1.9 km) south of the Greymouth CBD on the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand.

The aerodrome is operated by the Grey District Council and is available for general use without notice to the operator. Hangarage for light aircraft and refuelling facilities are available.

The most recent commercial flights were operated by

Twin Otter service to Christchurch and Nelson
from 1986 to 1988.

Today there are no scheduled flights using the airport. Charter flights can be arranged via Air West Coast. One such charter flight collects passengers off the TranzAlpine train at Greymouth station and flies them back to Christchurch over Mt Cook and the Glaciers.[2]
