About Napier Airport
Hawkes Bay or Napier Airport was built on the land reclaimed from the sea after the 1931 earthquake, it was officially opened as an airport in 1964 and is often known as Napier Airport because of it's close proximity to the town. Today it handles domestic flights only from Auckland and Christchurch together with several flights from smaller airports throughout New Zealand.  As it does only handle domestic flights it is quite a small airport, nevertheless there are the usual facilities necessary, including a cafe to give you a last taste of the fine wine and food from Hawkes Bay before you board your flight.
