Westport Services
Westport Service Update - Our last flights between Wellington and Westport operated on Friday, 28 August 2026 with support from Development West Coast.
We are awaiting the outcome of an application to the Regional Investment Fund (Kanoa) for ongoing essential air route funding support for the Westport route. On receipt of that decision we will update the website and issue a press release on the future of our services to Westport.
