Northland's gateway airport serving Whangarei and the region.

Location
Whangarei, New Zealand
Whangarei Airport (IATA: WRE, ICAO: NZWR) is a regional airport located in Whangarei, the northernmost city in New Zealand's Northland region. It serves as an important link between Northland and New Zealand's main centres, primarily Auckland. The airport handles a relatively modest volume of passenger traffic, catering mainly to domestic scheduled services, charter flights, and general aviation. Its runway and facilities are suited to smaller turboprop and light aircraft operations. Whangarei Airport plays a key role in connecting the Northland community for business, tourism, and emergency services, given the region's geographic isolation from major urban centres.
