Founded in 1933 as the Waikato Club and providing air charter and flight training services ever since, Waikato Aviation holds a desirable "front row" position at Hamilton International Airport.

For over 80 years we have taken to the skies above the Waikato region and created memorable and exciting experiences for those with a passion for aviation. From aspiring pilots, to those with a desire to explore the region’s skies with friends, family and for business. With a heritage built on the pioneering spirit of our founders, we have continued to deliver the best in flying encounters across our flight academy, charter services and for our community of aviators.

Unique to the region, the people of Waikato Aviation have built a reputation for safety, reliability and service second to none. We are dedicated to making the world of aviation accessible to all.

Hamilton International Airport is an excellent place to train.
It offers the full range of facilities with both grass and asphalt runways as well as full air traffic control and airport services.

Pilots training for or maintaining Instrument Ratings have VOR, DME and NDB navigation aids available. Centrally located, we are also close to many airfields and a wide range of airspace types.
