Rotorua Regional Airport is an airport in Rotorua, New Zealand (IATA: ROT, ICAO: NZRO). It originally opened in 1963, with a 1378m x 30m tarmac runway, replacing the old Whakarewarewa Aerodrome. The old Aerodrome was just north of Sala Street and is now a suburban area. The present airport has had its runway extended to 1622m around 2002, and is presently extending the runway north by 150m[1], to allow the Airbus A320 to land there. Plans are afoot to further increase the pavement to allow regular commercial jet services to Australia; the terminal building has been upgraded to include immigration and customs areas to allow this.
