Air Whanganui was established in 1987 by local families to meet the needs of Whanganui businesses following the withdrawal of services to Whanganui by the national carrier. The company began its commuter operation with a Piper Mojave flown over from Australia by one of the company’s founding directors.
From those early beginnings the Company has grown into a first class 24/7 national charter service and a significant participant in the provision of air ambulance and medical transport services throughout New Zealand.
We have three state of the art Beechcraft King Air turboprop aircraft, comprising of two B200’s and one C90 that are elegantly appointed and provisioned for executive and leisure charters. Our aircraft can land at all New Zealand airports serviced by commercial airlines, as well as smaller more remote airfields.
Air Whanganui is based in Whanganui which is geographically one of the most centrally located cities in New Zealand. This provides an ideal base from which to service all of New Zealand.
