Ryan's Creek Aerodrome( IATA : SZS, ICAO : NZRC) is a small airstrip on Stewart Island in southern New Zealand.
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.
The airport is at an elevation of 288 feet (88 m) above mean sea level. [2] It has one runway, designated "04/22", which measures 800 by 66 metres (2,625 ft × 217 ft).
