Kaitaia Airport (IATA: KAT, ICAO: NZKT) is located at Kaitaia in the Northland Region, of New Zealand. It's about 3 1/2 hours from Auckland and about a 40 minute flight from Auckland International Airport.
Kaitaia is mainly used by Air New Zealand link flights to Auckland using Eagle Airways' fleet of Beechcraft 1900's.
On 13 June 2005, Kaitaia Airport received an injection of $333,850 to upgrade its runway facilities so that it can accommodate larger aircraft. The Far North District Council approved loan funding for Kaitaia Airport's project that will allow it to accommodate aircraft up to 15,000 kg in weight. This upgrade will allow Air New Zealand to fly into Kaitaia with its new fleet of Dash 8 aircraft. Over the next 10 years, $1.4 million will be invested into the airport.
