Part of 
Far North Holdings 

​Owned and operated by Far North Holdings, Bay of Islands Airport is an important part of their broad portfolio of commercial assets, infrastructure and activities.

​

​This portfolio also includes the management of Kaitaia Airport, ensuring both airports play a vital role in supporting regional connectivity and economic growth.

​

Over the years, Far North Holdings has secured significant investments, including the construction of two new apron stands to accommodate a greater number of aircraft arrivals and departures, as well as the rebuilding of the terminal to support future growth. Together we are dedicated to ensuring the resilience of our district’s key infrastructure.

Bay Of Islands Far North Regional Airport

Supporting & Protecting our region

At Bay of Islands Airport, we serve as the designated Place of First Arrival Authority under the BioSecurity Act (1993) and hold similar status with New Zealand Customs. This allows us to provide quarantine clearance for international flights, typically private or charter flights with up to twelve passengers, right at the airport. This service boosts the local economy by supporting businesses like taxis, buses, and accommodation providers.

Additionally, we are a Lifeline Utility Authority under the Civil Defense and Emergency Management Act (2002), ensuring the airport remains operational during emergencies for fueling and as a base for emergency services and evacuations.
