Rotorua Airport
Encyclopaedia

Rotorua Airport is an airport in Rotorua, New Zealand, located on Te Ngae Road (SH30) 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, followed by general aviation hangars located to both the north and the south of the main terminal with an avgas pump at the southern end of the apron. The airport's main runway (18R/36L) is 2114m long and is sealed with asphalt, accompanied with a shorter grass runway (18L/36R) which runs parallel to the main runway, although the proximity of the two runways means that they can't be used simultaneously.
