Hawke's Bay Airport (IATA: NPEICAO: NZNR), sometimes referred to as Napier Airport, is Hawke's Bay's main commercial airport serving domestic flights to the main centres of Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch as well as smaller centres such as Gisborne, Wairoa and Blenheim . The airport is permitted to allow limited international flights for aircraft with up to fourteen people on board by prior arrangement with Air Napier or Skyline Aviation.

452,000 travellers passed through the terminal in the 12 months to June 2013.

The Airport is located in the Napier suburb of Westshore, and is sometimes referred to as Napier Airport. It is sited on the former Ahuriri Lagoon, an area which was raised above sea level by the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake.

In 2010/11 the main runway was extended to 1750 metres with 240 metre Runway End Safety Areas at either end which is long enough to accommodate jet services (A320 aircraft) operated by Air New Zealand and Jetstar on domestic operations. A terminal reconfiguration, along with a full-scale security fence, would be required before scheduled domestic jet services could commence. At this stage further development to enable trans-Tasman services is not planned. Hawke's Bay Airport has received resource consent from the Napier City Council to begin Stage 1 of a significant multimillion-dollar business park development.

In November 2013 - Hawke's Bay Airport announced advanced planning to further lengthen its main runway from 1750m to 1940m no later than 2018 and a significant terminal expansion and redevelopment to cope with significantly higher than projected annual increases in passengers numbers through the airport. The airport was also named New Zealand Regional Airport of the Year 2013.
