Taieri Aerodrome was the most southerly Royal New Zealand Air Force flying station during World War II.

307 Elementary Ground Training School and a flight which managed stored Lockheed Hudsons were located there.

There are also a number of businesses that operate from the airfield, including those that specialise in maintenance and aircraft restoration.

The aerodrome is host to the popular biennial Wings & Wheels day, which sees a variety of aircraft and vintage cars on display.

Avgas is available via Z Energy swipecard, east of northern end RWY 05 and Jet A1 is available from HeliOtago.
