DC-3 Weather Policy

Weather Weather Weather...... Folks, flight in our DC-3 are extremely weather reliant. We only operate them in good to excellent flying conditions. This is for comfort reasons, not flying safety per se.

We fly at low altitudes, where the air can be turbulent to various degrees, resulting in a sometimes vibrant aviation experience.

Lots of people love this, but most don't.

These are pleasure flights, and we regard them differently to business and medical charters in our jets which are required to depart in any legal and safe weather conditions.

Fuel Surcharge

With great regret due to the ever increasing fuel cost we have had to apply a fuel surcharge to our Gooney Bird Flights. We apologise for this price impediment and will remove the surcharge once the current high fuel price decreases back to a manageable level. For Dinner Flights the surcharge will be $5.00 PP and for King Island Flights 10.00 PP.
