We have completed the first of a number of investigations into the future of air transport in the District.

The Whangārei Airport Strategic Study confirms that growing issues related with Civil Aviation rules, runway length, and significant costs for extending the existing runway, mean the current airport has a life-span of only 10 to 15 years. 

For further details on the Airport Strategic Review contact the Infrastructure and Services Manager on 09 430 4200.

We have agreed in principle to support the relocation of the Northland emergency helicopter base to Whangārei District Airport.
