Regional gateway serving the Kapiti Coast north of Wellington.

Location
Paraparaumu, New Zealand
Paraparaumu Airport (IATA: PPQ, ICAO: NZPP) is a regional airport located on the Kapiti Coast of New Zealand's North Island, approximately 50 kilometres north of Wellington. It serves the towns of Paraparaumu, Waikanae, and the wider Kapiti Coast district. The airport has historically provided scheduled air services linking the Kapiti Coast to other New Zealand destinations, though its scheduled service operations have been limited over the years. It also serves general aviation, private, and charter flying activities. The airport sits near the Tasman Sea coastline and is operated as a community facility for the Kapiti Coast district. Its proximity to Wellington Airport means it primarily functions as a general aviation hub rather than a major commercial gateway.
Terminals
The airport has a modest terminal building suited to regional and general aviation operations rather than large-scale commercial traffic.
Getting to & from
The airport is accessible by road via State Highway 1, and Paraparaumu Railway Station on the Kapiti Line provides rail connections to Wellington city.
Airlines here
