STRONGER TOGETHER!

ATAIR CHATHAMS we love connecting Kiwis across the country. We’re a family owned and operated airline and we know the importance of being with family and friends, but we also know how important regional links throughout Aotearoa New Zealand are to our local businesses, whether it is vital supplies to remote communities, specialists and business people who need to get around the country, or industries that need to get their products to market, nationally or around the world.

And those regional links have never been more important than throughout the trying times of the pandemic, when a lot of livelihoods depended on being able to think outside of the box, work smart as well as hard, and keep locals in jobs.

At Air Chathams we’re looking forward to a busy Autumn, and in fact it has been a remarkably busy year for us, with a full flight schedule and all our usual destinations taken up by both regular and new customers. And after the past few years it’s extremely heartening to see people getting back out and about, visiting family, having meetings in person instead of virtually, and taking that long awaited overseas trip.

Whilst it’s exciting times to be getting back to what we do best – connecting kiwis by air - it is still a very challenging time for the industry, with record high fuel prices, labour shortages, inflation, and constant international parts supply issues.

All of which drives up our operating costs and puts real pressure on our Air Chathams family to deliver the on-time performance we strive for dailyso please keep this in mind when travelling with us and if you can, share a kind word with your crew or via our feedback survey; it means the world to our team! 
