Tira Ora Airfield – Passenger Service Fee
We ask people to contact us directly simply because Tira Ora is a private property and airfield and we need to prepare in advance for flight operations (the airfield needs to be cleared of animals and irrigation, dogs need to be tied up, etc.)
We also need to know the other transport arrangements, e.g., if a boat needs to be met at the jetty, or moored on our mooring, etc. Tira Ora is a large property with many animals and paths, so we can't just have people coming and going on their own. These details are best handled directly with passengers, since they are not relevant to Pelorus Air.
We have a Clubhouse building next to the airfield where passengers and guests can wait before or after flights, if necessary: flights in the Sounds can be difficult to schedule due to wind and cloud conditions, and light planes from Wellington are frequently delayed due to the operational schedules of the international airport.
Telephone and WiFi access are available in the Cluhouse; plus refreshments, while toilets are nearby.
The airfield is about 400m from the jetty, so we can provide assistance with moving baggage as well.
We charge a Passenger Service Fee of $25 per person (infants free, 2-12 years $10). This is payable direct to Tira Ora - it is not collected by Pelorus Air.
