Giving back to the region via corporate sponsorships and donations is a duty we thoroughly enjoy.
We support a variety of events and community organisations that align with our corporate values and contribute to the prosperity of our region, our community, and its environment.
Biodiversity Hawke's Bay
Hawke’s Bay Airport is proud to be the Platinum Sponsor of Biodiversity Hawke’s Bay. The partnership involves an annual financial contribution and on-airport exposure to raise its profile to accelerate biodiversity outcomes for the region. The partnership will also see the airport working directly with Biodiversity Hawke’s Bay on projects to plant out additional areas around the airport such as Te Taha (The Gap).
Art Deco Festival Napier
The Art Deco Festival Napier, run by the Art Deco Trust is one of New Zealand’s largest and most iconic annual events. Each year, hundreds if not thousands of people step off aircraft to attend the festival. So, it’s only right that Hawke’s Bay Airport supports this wonderful event through the ‘Planes, Trains and Automobile’ category of the festival which includes the war birds display.
A Great Wine Capital
We are a supporting partner and advocate for Hawke’s Bay’s membership in the Great Wine Capital’s programme. Great Wine Capitals is a global network that links cities connected to great wine regions to sustain the health and prosperity of their wine-related industries, communities, and tourism.
Hawke's Bay Marathon
The Hawke’s Bay Marathon is an iconic running event for many. Consisting of a 42 km marathon, 21 km half marathon and a 10 km fun run, it is a popular event that attracts many visitors to our region. Hawke’s Bay Aiport is the Volunteer Partner for the Hawke’s Bay Marathon.
Export Awards
Hawke’s Bay Export Awards is an annual event recognising and celebrating the achievements of Hawke’s Bay companies who export goods and services to overseas markets. Hawke’s Bay Airport has been a proud sponsor because of the important role exporting businesses play within the local and national economy.
