Glenorchy Air is a family business run by Janet and Robert Rutherford. Robert grew up in the area and has a wide range of knowledge in the local area. His ancestors arrived here from Scotland in the 1860s to mine for gold. We started "Glenorchy Air" in 1992, and have had many years of safe operation.
We are uniquely placed to share our knowledge and love of the area with our guests. We have the flexibility to fit in with your requirements so long as safety is not compromised.
We specialise in providing the highest standard of personal, friendly service to clients who travel in groups of no more than seven per aircraft. The pilots have a love of this area and are skilled at flying in the mountains. All our aircraft are fitted with individual head sets so you are able to hear the pilot's informative commentary. The "Kea" is our registered trade mark. This New Zealand parrot is the only alpine parrot in the world.
