Ryan's Creek Aerodrome

1

Ryan's Creek Aerodrome is a small airstrip on Stewart Island in southern New Zealand.

History

The aerodrome was built in the late 1970s to accommodate operations by Stewart Island Air Services. In the mid-1980s the runway and taxiways were asphalted. In 1990 a hill at one end of the strip was leveled; this left more room for aircraft to land and allowed easier access to the airstrip. The aerodrome is currently used by Stewart Island Flights for scheduled services to Invercargill Airport.

Facilities

The airport is at an elevation of 288 ft above mean sea level. It has one runway, designated "04/22", which measures 800 x.
