Tauranga can accomodate up to an A320, but usually serves Air New Zealand's turboprop fleet. Tauranga also receives regular visits from the Air Chathams fleet of aircraft, serving as a fuel stop betwen mainland New Zealand and the Chatham Islands. - -## Layout - -Tauranga has four gates on the main apron and is home to over 20 private hangars. Tauranga also hosts multiple flight training organisations, which provides training for fixed wing, helicopter and gliders. - -Tauranga has six Runways in total.

This avoids the need to wait two or three minutes due to wake turbulence separation. The aircraft who departs first should be instructed to make an early turn to allow successive departure of the waiting aircraft. - -### Crane Operation - -!!! danger - Tauranga Port is Adjacent to Tauranga Airport and operates Multiple cranes up to 361 ft AMSL at 1.5 to 2.0 NM from Runway 07 Threshold. - - VFR Aircraft tracking Hunters Creek or Mt.
