Queenstown Airport has reported a 53 per cent drop in revenue

The gateway to the tourism epicentre has released its financial results from the second half of 2020.

Revenue was down to 13.5 million, from 29 million across the same period in 2019.

The decline is reflective of ongoing closed borders due to Covid-19.

Airport board chair Adrienne Young says their primary objective in the pandemic is to protect the company's ability to continue operations.
