Absolutely gutted for our friends and organisers of Marlborough Lines Classic Fighters Omaka, who made the tough call to cancel this weekend's event, due to the forecast.

If you've pre-booked and paid transport to this event with us, we will be in touch.

OMAKA CLASSIC FIGHTERS 2025 CANCELLED
We regret to advise that due to the severe weather event expected over the next several days, the Classic Fighters 2025 Airshow has been cancelled.

The combined Classic Fighters and Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre Trusts met this afternoon and determined that the risks involved with attempting to run CF2025 at Easter are too significant. This decision needed to be made immediately to allow all attendees time to mitigate the effects of this decision.

The paramount concern is one of safety. The weather event forecast for Easter indicates almost a week of rain, low clouds, lower-level winds, and turbulence that would prohibit any display flying over Easter. The Trusts must heed the general forecast conditions for safety in the air for the pilots and the audience on the ground.

We are currently in the process of contacting all ticketholders.
