Foxpine Aerodrome
New Zealand
Foxpine Aerodrome (ICAO NZFP) is a small aerodrome located northwest of, and on the border with, Foxton, New Zealand. The aerodrome has one grass runway with headings 09/27 and a length of about 954 m (3, 130 ft). Covering nearly 12 ha (30 acres), the aerodrome is privately owned. It was established in 1977 by Noel Oxnam, the owner of a family-run timber mill in Foxton. In 1978, he obtained an air service licence under the name Foxpine Air Charter, allowing him to operate air charter and taxi services from Foxton. In May 1986, the company launched a scheduled service between Palmerston North and Wellington. However, the service proved unviable and ceased operations twelve months later, in May 1987. The aerodrome is currently owned by Foxpine Airfield Ltd, whose majority shareholders are Keven Roberts and John Whitehead.
