Location
Hokitika, New Zealand
Hokitika Airfield (IATA: HKK, ICAO: NZHK) is a small regional airport serving Hokitika, a town on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island. It provides essential air connectivity to a region otherwise accessible primarily by road through the Southern Alps.
The airfield handles light regional traffic and is operated under the oversight of local authorities. Its location near the Tasman Sea and the Southern Alps makes it subject to variable weather conditions typical of the West Coast.
Hokitika itself is known for its greenstone (pounamu) heritage, proximity to Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers, and the surrounding Westland Tai Poutini National Park, making the airfield an important access point for tourism in the region.
Terminals
The airfield has a single small terminal building suited to low-volume regional passenger operations.
Getting to & from
Ground transport options from the airfield into Hokitika town centre are limited, with taxis and rental cars being the primary means of onward travel.
