Taupo Airport (Māori: Te Papa Waka Rererangi o Taupō, (IATA: TUO, ICAO: NZAP)) is a small airport 8 km (5.0 mi) to the south of Taupo township on the eastern shores of Lake Taupo, New Zealand.
Scheduled flights are operated by Air New Zealand Link, using Bombardier DHC-8-Q300 from Auckland, and Sounds Air, operating from Wellington using Pilatus PC-12. The airport is a popular destination for private jets, due to its close proximity to trout fishing, golf, hunting, skiing and luxury resorts.[citation needed]
A number of small charter and training operations are also based here along with maintenance providers and a large search and rescue facility. In addition there are two commercial tandem skydiving operators, making Taupo Airport the busiest drop zone in New Zealand.
