## Description

Air New Zealand is the lone scheduled carrier at Rotorua, linking this geothermal and Māori-culture centre of the Bay of Plenty to Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. The airport once reached across the Tasman to Sydney, but today its role is firmly regional and passenger-driven. Freight moves only in the holds of these domestic flights, with no dedicated cargo operation on site. Shippers needing real capacity turn to Auckland (AKL) some 230 km north, the country's principal air-freight gateway.
