## Description

Wool, lamb and logs, not air cargo, define the economy around Wairoa, a small Māori-heritage town on the Hawke's Bay coast between Napier and Gisborne. The airfield handles general aviation, charter and air-ambulance work rather than scheduled services. No freight operation exists on site, and the district's farm and forestry output travels by road. For anything moving by air, Napier (NPE), about 100 km southwest, is the nearest meaningful gateway.
