This proudly New Zealand-owned airline was born from a genuine need: to connect the remote and remarkable Chatham Islands to the rest of the country, and to give those communities a lifeline to the world.

 

Four decades on, Air Chathams has grown into a beloved regional carrier, flying to destinations across mainland New Zealand, including Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Whakatāne, Whanganui and Kāpiti Coast — as well as the Chatham Islands, Pitt Island and Norfolk Island. With a reputation built on warmth, reliability and the kind of community spirit that only a family-owned airline can offer, flying with Air Chathams is an experience that feels genuinely different. If you've ever dreamed of visiting the Chatham Islands or discovering New Zealand's most extraordinary regional destinations, come and have a conversation at the show.
