About Dargaville Aerodrome
Dargaville Aerodrome (IATA: DGR, ICAO: NZDA) is a small airport located 1 Nautical Mile (1.9 km) southeast of Dargaville township in Northland, New Zealand.
The airfield has an active aero club that provides training in advanced microlights, and has a regular 'fly-in' lunch every Saturday which attracts aviators from New Zealand's North island.
It is a base for topdressing aircraft working the surrounding area, and has Avgas available with a "Z" swipecard.
Dargaville airfield is at sea level at the northern end of the large Kaipara harbour, forming a pair with the similar sea level West Auckland Airport, at Parakai at the southern end of the harbour some 50 miles away.
