A quick flight up from Auckland, with the Weather starting to show signs of an incoming front. Whangarei Airport currently holds the distinction of having the Shortest Runway Air NZ fly too. Surrounded on water on 3 sides means options for expansion/Runway lengthening are severely limited. Plans by the Council have investigated options to relocate the airport to other suitable places in the District, or retain the current sight at Onerahi. Time will tell :)
