Story

Kerikeri Airport, also known as Bay of Islands Airport, is an airport at Kerikeri, New Zealand. It is about a three hour drive from Auckland and a 40-minute flight from Auckland Airport.HistoryThe airport was initially a grass airstrip created in the early 1930s or possibly earlier. During World War II, the airport was taken over by the Defence Department, for Royal New Zealand Air Force training. After the war ended, it was once again run by local government.In 1972, Mount Cook Airlines decided to use the airport to connect to tourist resorts. The service failed through lack of patronage. A Kerikeri-Auckland route was started by the airline but was not widely used. It was not until 1992, after the transfer of the airport to Northern Airports Corporation (now merged into Far North Holdings Ltd), that Eagle Airways (a subsidiary of Air New Zealand) took over scheduled service and patronage on the route increased. Eagle Airways ceased its Kerikeri service in 2015 and was replaced by another Air New Zealand Link subsidiary, Air Nelson, operating their 50-seat Bombardier Dash 8 Q300.

Gotta love the New Zealand regional airports. Pleasant enough waiting area. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Nice Cafe. Clean and well maintained restrooms
With over 30 people waiting in the Airport the cafe opened 11.40, we viewed food left in cabinets over night and decided on a stale muffins. Would recommend buying a snack and coffee before leaving surrounding district. Such a shame as the Airport itself is great.
Would give lots of negative stars if could, been transferred after cancellation but separate flights that meant there was no way to make it to next one, not sure why it wasn't connecting flights. 9 hours to wait for next one. Definitely don't want to go by plane to Kerikeri in future. Would rather drive 21 hours than go by plane again.
This airport is one of the most well laid out intuitive and visitor friendly airports I've ever visited, and I've been to Changi several times. In the entry pavilion of the main concourse, the check-in hub is well signposted and easy to find. You can then head straight to the dining precinct without needing to navigate annoying duty free mazes full of touts. There's a wide range of dining options to suit any preference all accessible from a single counter. There's a higher seating to passenger ratio than any other airport in the world. The walk to the departure gate is very brief. Planes turn around remarkable quick and boarding is extremely efficient. All of this is achieved with a single level, no need to negotiate escalators. Security is so easy it's practically invisible. The open air boarding is such a breezy experience on a sunny day. But the best thing of all is there's no snooty class divides here: regardless of your frequent flyer status, all the amenities are available undifferentiated. ALL THE STARS
Nice new terminal with cafe, hire cars and free parking
Nice modern airport, helpful staff.A few facilities but no more than needed for a small regional airport.
The terminal is excellent. Aircon could be set a little warmer and an absolute disgrace in this day and age that all rubbish goes in one bin. Shame on you FNHL and FNDC.
Scenic-Flight along the Bay-of-Islands coastline - AWESOME!!!
Small rural airport and the gateway tho the Bay of Islands! Straight off the plane and out the other side! We could even see our friends waiting on the forecourt to greet us from out of the plane windows as we landed. Fastest baggage reclaim ever!
It’s quite a good airport and has a coffee kiosk that was open early. They are not kidding about check in times! If you are 29 minutes before your flight and not 30 then you have missed it. Also if you have an international connection make sure you are there before 60 minutes. There seems to be no leeway at all for people running late. The airport opens earlier on a Sunday than they say on the website.
