About

Red Cat Biplane Flights offers a unique aviation experience. We are the only company in the South Island operating an open-cockpit biplane that can take two passengers in addition to the pilot. This means you can share the fun and adventure with a family member, friend or partner.

On all our flights you get to wear a leather flying jacket, leather helmet and flying goggles. We can fly throughout New Zealand but our base is at Pukaki Airport near Twizel in the spectacular Mackenzie Basin and only 5 km south from the turn off to Aoraki Mount Cook.

During the winter months we operate from the Ashburton Airfield in conjunction with the Ashburton Aviation Museum.

Prices start from as little as $195.00 per person.
