Rotorua Regional Airport

Story

Rotorua Regional Airport is an airport in Rotorua, New Zealand. It is located on Te Ngae Road in the suburb of Rotokawa, approximately 6 km north east of Rotorua CBD. The terminal consists of a two-storey building with six tarmac gates and is home to a cafe, book store and conference room. There are general aviation hangars located to both the north and the south of the main terminal, and as an avgas pump at the southern end of the apron. The airport's main runway is 2114m long and is sealed with asphalt. There is also a shorter grass runway which runs parallel to the main runway, although the proximity of the two runways means that they can't be used simultaneously.
Currently, the airport is served by Air New Zealand's regional subsidiaries with flights to Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown, and commuter airline Sunair with flights to Gisborne and Napier. A number of charter and scenic airlines also operate from the airport on a regular basis. In the past, the airport has been served by a number of airlines on domestic routes including Ansett New Zealand, Origin Pacific Airways and Qantas.
