Waiheke Island Aerodrome (IATA: WIK, ICAO: NZKE) is a private airport on Waiheke Island, 17 nautical miles northeast of Auckland, New Zealand.
It is privately owned and operated and prior permission to land is required.
The grass runway is positioned on the top of the ridge line with the northerly landing direction preferred due to the uphill slope.
As the area features significant changes in topography there is the possibility of tricky crosswinds, sometimes coming from both sides of the runway concurrently[citation needed].
This, along with the local noise sensitivity, is one reason why prior permission to land is required before planning of any trip to the airfield.
