## Description

Few runways share their length with a working railway line, but at Gisborne, on the North Island's east coast, trains cross the strip — an unusual quirk that defines the airport. Air New Zealand links the city to Auckland and Wellington with turboprop services. There is no dedicated freighter operation or cargo terminal; air freight is limited to the belly holds of those regional flights. Larger consignments from the Gisborne wine and horticulture district move via Auckland Airport. The field remains primarily a regional passenger gateway.
