Our Story
Local people. Real connections
Air Ruatoria is a locally owned and operated charter airline serving the East Coast and surrounding regions.
We’re here to make regional travel easier, more accessible and more personal – connecting people with the places that matter.
From charter flights to regional connections, every flight is an opportunity to share knowledge and stories about the lands we fly over.
More than a flight
Connecting people, communites and the East Coast by air.
It’s about making it easier to visit whānau, support local businesses, attend important events and connect communities that can be separated by long road journeys.
We are proud to be part of the communities we serve and are committed to providing a service that reflects the people and places of the East Coast.
