In Tasman, we have several airfields serving the aviation community, and private and public users. We manage two of these aerodromes, one in Motueka and the other in Tākaka.
Motueka is home to several operators including microlights, hang-gliding, skydiving and helicopters. In Tākaka, a commercial operator runs regularly scheduled air services to Wellington, Nelson and the West Coast.
This means at times, although small, these airports can get busy, so it’s vitally important that everyone is aware of safety requirements.
As an aerodrome operator, we have legal requirements around managing access to the airfield to ensure the safety of the public, passengers and pilots.
Please do not enter through any gates onto the airfield without instruction from an operator on site.
The perimeter is marked out with fencing and signs. Civil Aviation has strict rules about public access to aerodromes, so please note the warning signs and keep out of the area for your own safety.
