Napier Airport (NPE / NZNR), also known as Hawke’s Bay Airport, is the main aviation gateway to the Hawke’s Bay region on New Zealand’s North Island. Located just 10 minutes from Napier city centre, the airport provides convenient access for travellers visiting one of the country’s leading wine regions.
The airport supports private jet charter operations and includes facilities designed to provide an efficient experience for private aviation passengers. Travellers arriving by private aircraft can move quickly through dedicated areas and enjoy direct access to aircraft, allowing for smooth arrivals and departures.
Napier Airport offers regular domestic connections to major New Zealand cities, while international private flights can be arranged with prior coordination of customs, immigration and biosecurity services. This makes the airport an efficient entry point for visitors travelling to Hawke’s Bay from across New Zealand, Australia and the wider Pacific.
From the airport, visitors are within easy reach of many of the region’s most sought-after destinations. The vineyards of Hawke’s Bay wine country, the restaurants and galleries of Havelock North, and the coastal landscapes surrounding Cape Kidnappers are all located a short drive from the airport.
With its convenient location and modern private FBO, Napier Airport provides an ideal arrival point for travellers exploring the vineyards, coastline and landscapes of Hawke’s Bay.
