Great Barrier Airlines currently operates a fleet of 9 aircraft, with several more in the pipeline. Our aircraft are all professionally maintained by our engineering staff.
Britten Norman Islander and Trislander aircraft make up the bulk of the fleet, and are used mainly on out Great Barrier routes. We also make use of Piper Cherokee 6 when loads are a little lighter. Our Partenavia is used mainly for freight, and sometimes charter work.
The other two aircraft in the fleet are again Piper aircraft, but this time the bigger PA-31 series, we operate both a Chieftain and a Navajo. These two get used mainly for charter, but can occasionally be seen on Great Barrier.
