Kerikeri Airport guide

Bay of Islands Airport, also known as Kerikeri Airport, serves the Bay of Islands in Northland, New Zealand. It stands at 218 Wiroa Road, about ten minutes by car from Kerikeri, at 150 m above sea level. The site began as a grass airstrip in the early 1930s, and the Defence Department used it for RNZAF training during the Second World War.

Far North Holdings owns and runs the airport. It has three runways: a sealed runway 1,190 m long and two grass strips of 685 m and 490 m. A NZ$4.75 million terminal opened on 16 June 2019 with new check-in, baggage screening and luggage collection areas.

Air New Zealand flies from Kerikeri to Auckland using Q300 and ATR 72 aircraft, and Barrier Air added Auckland flights in 2024. The Far North District Council has said the terminal welcomes more than 130,000 passengers a year. The Bay of Islands Aero Club and the Coastguard aerial unit also operate from the airport.
