Matamata Airport, formerly Waharoa Aerodrome, (IATA: MTA, ICAO: NZMA) is the airport serving Matamata, New Zealand.
It is just over 3 km (1.9 mi) north of Waharoa, 9 km (5.6 mi) north of Matamata, was formed in 1942 and transferred to council ownership in 1965. It has two grass runways.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]In 1966 the aerodrome was leased for sheep grazing which resulted in a pump being installed that later connected to a clubhouse and ablution block. The Matamata Soaring Centre later used the aerodrome for gliding and power flying.[2]
