Big things happen when regional communities back each other. 💚✈️

Today, we’re proud to launch the Air Chathams Community Connection Fund, a $250,000 annual sponsorship programme supporting the regions we call home.

The fund will provide free and discounted flights for individuals, groups and events that help our communities thrive across:

Whakatāne, Whanganui, Kāpiti and Chatham Islands.

Whether it’s arts and culture, wellbeing, environmental projects or economic initiatives, we want to help keep good things moving around the regions we serve.

Applications are now open at: https://www.airchathams.co.nz/sponsorships

Flew them in, showed them some Kiwi hospitality… and sent them home with a reminder of who runs rugby. 😉

Great to have the Aussie Classics team on board for a fantastic weekend! 🦘✈️

We came bearing gifts… Kaye's Bakery ANZAC biscuits for the Aussie Classics team! 💚

Consider it our peace offering before kick-off, because good sportsmanship starts with snacks right? 🦘🥝

If the Michael movie doesn’t make at least 3 people attempt the moonwalk at the boarding gate … we don’t want it. HEHE.

Today's in-flight snack is doing things a little differently…

As we fly former Wallabies into New Plymouth for the ANZAC Day Classic, we’re swapping out the usual and serving up ANZAC biscuits from Kaye's Bakery.

A small nod to a shared history, and a big game ahead.

Who’s backing the bikkie choice? 👀
