Great Barrier Aerodrome Guide
Great Barrier Aerodrome (ICAO NZGB) is the main airfield on Great Barrier Island in the Hauraki Gulf. It sits beside Claris, the island's administrative centre on the east coast. It is a small, non-towered aerodrome about 6 metres (21 feet) above sea level, and fuel is not available.
Flying is the quick way to reach the island from the mainland. Barrier Air runs scheduled services to Auckland, North Shore and Tauranga. Island Aviation links the island with North Shore and Waiheke Island, and Sunair connects it with Tauranga, Whangarei and Whitianga. Rental cars and bicycle hire are available at the airport.
The aerodrome has two runways. Runway 10/28 is a bitumen and grass strip of about 950 metres. Runway 06/24 is a grass strip of about 620 metres. Landing fees including GST are $20 for private flights and $12 for scheduled commercial flights. Feral pigs roam on and around the airfield, so pilots should take care.
