Alexandra Aerodrome (IATA: ALR, ICAO: NZLX) is an aerodrome 2 NM (3.7 km) north northwest of Alexandra, New Zealand. The aerodrome saw South Pacific Airlines of New Zealand (SPANZ) DC-3 services from December 1960 to February 1966, then Mount Cook Airlines Britten-Norman Islander services from 1969 to 1991. In 2007-2008 Mainland Air trailed scheduled services to Alexandra and Queenstown, but due to lack of use, it has ceased to exist. Mainland Aviation College, division of Mainland Air, is going to be setting up a flight training college in 2009. They are holding an open day on Sunday 24th May to promote this. http://www.happysheep.co.nz/listing/view/id/6667/
