Picton Aerodrome is a Non-Certificated Aerodrome located at Koromiko 4NM south of Picton township in the Marlborough District of the South Island in New Zealand. Sounds Air has 5 flights per day to Wellington. The Marlborough Sounds Airpark is located nearby offering 16 private hangars adjacent to the main runway with remote control access for the owners to park their aircraft.[1]
On 2 January 1986, seven people died when a Cessna aircraft crashed on takeoff near Picton. This was an engine failure in the climb after takeoff and unrelated to the Airport itself. In another accident on 29 January 1996, five died when a Cessna Caravan crashed on approach to Picton. A Coroner's inquest found that the en-route accident could have been prevented had the Caravan been able to fly IFR, as happens now.[2]
