Small aerodrome serving scenic Waiheke Island, New Zealand.

Location
Waiheke Island, New Zealand
Waiheke Island Aerodrome (IATA: WIK, ICAO: NZKE) is a small general aviation airfield located on Waiheke Island in the Hauraki Gulf, near Auckland, New Zealand. It serves light aircraft operations and provides an air alternative to the regular ferry services connecting the island to the mainland. The aerodrome has a single grass runway and limited infrastructure, catering primarily to private and charter flights rather than scheduled commercial airline services. Its compact facilities reflect the low passenger volumes typical of a small island community. Waiheke Island is a popular tourist destination known for its wineries, beaches, and relaxed lifestyle, and the aerodrome offers visitors a quick air link to the island rather than the approximately 35-minute ferry crossing from Auckland's city centre.
Terminals
The aerodrome has minimal terminal facilities, consistent with its small general aviation and charter flight operations.

Ground transport on Waiheke Island includes local bus services and taxis connecting the aerodrome to the island's main towns and attractions.
