Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a private jet to Rotorua?
Rotorua’s high tourism season runs December-February (summer in New Zealand) when outdoor and geothermal attractions are in heavy demand. Booking a few weeks in advance for those months is recommended. LunaJets often arranges flights to Rotorua at short notice, even during busy periods.
Can I bring my pet on a private flight to Rotorua?
Yes, you can bring pets on a private jet to Rotorua, but all pets (except those from Australia) are placed in a mandatory 10-day quarantine at an MPI-approved facility upon arrival. Entry rules require an import permit, microchip, rabies vaccination, a rabies antibody test if applicable, parasite treatments, and a veterinary health certificate. LunaJets will confirm the latest regulations and ensure your pet’s documentation and quarantine arrangements are fully compliant.
What visa or entry requirements apply when flying private into Rotorua?
All travellers flying privately to Rotorua must comply with New Zealand’s entry rules. Depending on nationality, travellers may require a New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) or a visitor visa. A valid passport and proof of onward or return travel are required. LunaJets will verify the requirements for your nationality and ensure your documents are in order.
How long does a helicopter transfer take from Rotorua to Taupo (or Tongariro), and when is it relevant?
A helicopter transfer from Rotorua to Taupo typically takes about 20 minutes. For Tongariro or other luxury lodges further afield, transfer times are longer and depend on distance. This option becomes especially useful if you want to avoid road travel, save time, or align with tight schedules. LunaJets can arrange the helicopter so your private arrival dovetails with your onward travel.
Are there curfews or restricted operating hours at Rotorua Airport?
Yes. Rotorua Airport operates daily from 5:30 AM to 9:00 PM. Arrivals or departures outside those hours are possible only with prior special clearance. LunaJets will manage all permissions and slot arrangements if needed.
