History[edit]
Okiwi Airfield originally consisted of a grass airstrip which was prone to flooding during bad weather and regularly had to be closed through the winter. In November 2013, work commenced on sealing the runway in order to alleviate these issues and attract more commercial operators to the airfield. The new runway took 6 months and $1.5 million to build and opened on 2 May 2014.[3]
