Whakatane Airport terminal.
Whakatane Airport (IATA: WHK, ICAO: NZWK) is an airport serving the township of Whakatane and surrounding tourist attractions (Mount Tarawera, White Island) in New Zealand.

The airport's main movements include Eagle Airways/Air New Zealand Beech 1900D aircraft to Auckland and to Wellington. The airport also houses a flight school, agricultural aircraft and commercial helicopter operations.[citation needed]

The "excitingly different" terminal building was designed by Roger Walker[1] and completed in 1974.
