Whangarei District Airport no longer has an Aero Club after a drop in membership and private flying. Flight training using micro-light aircraft is still available through the Whangarei Flying Club, which merged with the Northern District Aeroclub when it closed down, and Sports Flying Academy located in hangar 8. A tandem and sport skydiving company (Skydive Ballistic Blondes) operates from its base on Domain Road. Helicopter operators Skywork and Twin Coast Helicopters both operate from the airport. One aircraft maintenance facility (Northland Aviation Ltd) is available, which conducts maintenance for airlines and many aircraft across Northland. Private jets are catered for when they arrive about twice a year as well as larger group charters, which are fairly common.
