Air Chathams

Air Chathams (IATA CVA, ICAO CVA) is a family-owned New Zealand regional carrier headquartered in the Chatham Islands, with its main operational base and hangar at Auckland Airport and a second base at Chatham Islands / Tuuta Airport. The network is entirely domestic, linking the Chathams with Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch and connecting Auckland to Whakatāne, Whanganui and the Kāpiti Coast at Paraparaumu, supplemented by charter and freight work rather than any long-haul flying. The small turboprop fleet mixes the Convair 580 mapped here with ATR 72, Saab 340 and Metroliner equipment. The airline is not part of any alliance.
