Scenic Flights
Our scenic flights will expose Northland's majesty in a way not possible from the ground. You may have limited time, but Quantum Aviation can show you the best of Northland in the least amount of time.
Charter Flights
Quantum Aviation offer flights to most destinations in New Zealand from small remote airfields through to the larger international airports such as Auckland. Flights can be tailor-made to suit your needs and you have the choice of departure time, as well as the route in which to take. Surprisingly, chartering your own aircraft can be very cost effective considering the numbers of people travelling.

Quantum Aviation has gift vouchers available for you to download and print at any time of day or night. So if a special day has approached more quickly than you thought, we can help out.

One of the best ways to see New Zealand’s stunning landscape is from the air, on a flight with Quantum Aviation.
Based in Whangarei City, the capital of the beautiful region of Northland and just 2 hours drive from Auckland Central, Quantum Aviation is a well placed base from which to discover the entire Northland region and beyond with a scenic flight. It can also be the most cost effective and time efficient way to visit the tourist hub of the Bay of Islands and the remote Cape Reinga.
There is so much to see and do in New Zealand, we can maximise your time by flying you to and over some of the most visited sites, and also to some of New Zealand’s best kept secrets that only the locals know about. Our experienced Pilots provide information on the many sights, and also give you the background to the cultural or historical significance that they represent to the New Zealand people. A flight becomes the highlight of their holiday for many tourists and travelling ‘Kiwis’ alike.
Or, for the more adventurous, how about a ‘Trial Flight’ where YOU take control of the aeroplane…with a little help from a fully CAA qualified Flight Instructor. Quantum Aviation can provide training up to Commercial Pilots licences, if that interests you, please click here to be taken to our designated flight training website.
