Waiheke Island Aerodrome (ICAO: NZKE) is a private airport on Waiheke Island, 17 NM North East of Auckland, New Zealand.

General

Waiheke Island Aerodrome is situated on the top of a ridge line south of Onetangi Bay and is the only airport on Waiheke Island. Privately owned and run, prior permission to land is required. The airport is used primarily for residents of and visitors to Waiheke Island where Air Discovery is the only Island-based operator. The airfield is also used for medevac from Waiheke Island to Auckland hospitals. Pilot training flights (circuits) are not encouraged.

The grass runway is positioned on the top of the ridge line, with a Northerly landing direction. As the area features significant changes in topography, there is the possibility of tricky crosswinds, sometimes coming from both sides of the runway at the same time. This along with the local noise sensitivity, is part of the reason that prior permission to land is required before planning of any trip to the airfield.

The airfield is also the only licenced landing site for helicopters on Waiheke Island, although there are some other private landing sites but with capped monthly landing counts.
