Remote grass airstrip serving Great Barrier Island's northeast coast.

Location
Great Barrier Island, New Zealand
Okiwi Station Airport (ICAO: NZOX) is a small, uncontrolled airstrip located in the Okiwi area on the northeastern side of Great Barrier Island (Aotea), New Zealand. The airport serves as one of several landing strips on the island, supporting light general aviation traffic and charter services connecting the island to the mainland. Great Barrier Island is a remote community located in the Hauraki Gulf, approximately 90 kilometres northeast of Auckland.

The airport features a grass runway and basic facilities typical of remote rural airstrips in New Zealand. It is used primarily by small piston and turboprop aircraft operating scenic, charter, and community access flights.
Terminals
The airstrip has no formal terminal building, operating with minimal infrastructure typical of remote rural New Zealand aerodromes.
