Air New Zealand
Self-handled, Air New Zealand: the airline runs an active ramp/ground-ops workforce in Wellington (concurrent Ramp Agent/Airport Agent listings on Indeed and SEEK for Wellington City), consistent with self-handling its own mainline and domestic flights at its home-market airports; no primary-source document was found stating the exact scope self-handled versus contracted out, so this remains an inference rather than a confirmed fact.

Aircraft fuel
Unconfirmed
Air BP
Possible into-plane Jet A-1/Avgas supplier at Wellington International (NZWN); the draft cited an AC-U-KWIK FBO/Handler directory listing ("AIR BP, Wellington") and a claim that NZ reseller RD Petroleum sources fuel from a BP terminal at Wellington, but neither could be re-confirmed on -- the AC-U-KWIK airport page and BP's own locations page were unreachable, and RD Petroleum's current site makes no mention of Wellington or a BP terminal. Air BP is a real global brand and a plausible supplier given Wellington's listed Jet A-1/Avgas availability, but its presence at WLG specifically needs re-verification from a live source before being treated as confirmed.

Fieldair describes itself company-wide (fieldair.co.nz) as a CAA Part 145-approved maintenance organisation that has "kept aircraft flying across New Zealand and the Pacific" for 75+ years, covering scheduled/unscheduled maintenance, AOG support, structural repairs and modifications for both small GA and commercial-fleet operators; the Wellington hangar at 17 George Bolt Street is one of the bases delivering this heavier work (correcting the draft's "over 60 years" figure, which the current site does not support -- it states 75+ years).

Dedicated flight kitchen at Wellington (WLG), reported by the LSG Group as producing approximately 640,000 airline meals per year with around 54 employees, part of the global LSG Sky Chefs airline-catering network; the specific Wellington location page could not be re-fetched (site navigation returned no location subpages), so the precise meal/employee figures are carried over unverified on, though LSG Sky Chefs NZ operating a Wellington kitchen is consistent with its established presence at Air NZ's main hubs.

Aviation Security Service (AvSec)
AvSec is New Zealand's aviation-security screening agency (a CAA-affiliated operational unit) and screens passengers and checked/carry-on baggage at Wellington Airport; Wellington Airport's own international-travel-procedures page directs passengers to the Aviation Security Service (aviation.govt.nz) for what is removed during screening, corroborating AvSec's screening role at WLG. The specific Station Drive office address and phone number could not be (avsec.govt.nz returned no fetchable content) and should be treated as carried-over rather than freshly verified.

Confirmed directly on Wellington Airport's own services page: Rydges Wellington Airport is a 134-room hotel "fully integrated with the airport terminal," located on Level 2 of the main terminal building -- upgraded from "unconfirmed" to "available" since the on-airport hotel service itself is directly confirmed by the airport operator, even though no specific airline crew-accommodation contract is separately documented.
