Landing Fees

(Effective 1 December 2023 and inclusive of GST)

Omaka Airfield is owned and operated by the Marlborough Aero Club. It comes at a cost to the Club to maintain the airfield for the benefit of all those who use the airfield, and your landing fee helps with this upkeep.

Annual one-off fee is available for unlimited landings to club members and other operators who use the airfield regularly. Please contact fly@marlboroughaeroclub.co.nz if you wish to take advantage of this option.

Fixed Wing $10 - covers unlimited landings same day.
Helicopters $10 - covers unlimited landings same day.

Payment Options:

The Honest Way

  • Pay (cash) at the Avgas or Jet A1 pumps using the envelopes provided in the Payment Boxes.
  • Pay at the Aeroclub Flight Office reception when open (Generally, 0800-1700 daily except during Christmas and New Year closure).
  • Direct Debit to our account within 3 days of the landing using your aircraft registration as Payee Reference. Click here for Direct Debit.
  • Use the QR code located on signs around the airfield.

The Dishonest Way

Don't want to do any of the above? Then SMILE - you and your aircraft are on camera. After 7 days the registered owner of the aircraft (as listed on the NZCAA website) will be sent an invoice for $45. This covers the landing fee of $10 and processing fee of $35.
