The Whangarei District Airport is located in at Handforth Street in the seaside suburb of Onerahi, an easy 10-minute drive from the city centre.
It is jointly owned by the Ministry Of Transport and Council and is managed by Northland Aviation.
The airport is modern and well equipped, certificated to take aircraft of around 50 seat capacity. Few airports have such convenience of location to the central city and beautiful surrounds as the Onerahi peninsular.
Apart from the obvious services provided by air line operators, the airport acts as a platform for many recreational and sports users.
This includes sky diving, helicopters, micro light aircraft and of course Aero Club and private fixed wing users. These operators are spoilt for choice with many world class attractions within easy reach to sight see from above. These range from the world renowned Bay of Islands to the east coast with its sandy bays and bountiful islands or the rugged beauty of the West coast. Inland areas include many areas of bush and farm land with rugged hill country interspersed by rich volcanic valleys.
A number of operators use the airport:
- Air New Zealand Link operates daily scheduled flights to and from Auckland.
- Salt Air operates week day flights to the Bay of Islands and Auckland via North Shore.
- Great Barrier Airlines operate by arrangement.
