Chinta Air

Chinta Air is an air charter and scenic flight company in South Australia. It flies from bases at Ceduna on the Far West Coast and at Rawnsley Park Station, on the south side of Wilpena Pound in the Flinders Ranges. Its flights operate across South Australia.

Scenic flights are the main tour product. The company offers one and two day tours to Kati Thanda / Lake Eyre, Australia's largest salt lake. When rain floods the region, the lake can turn into an inland sea that attracts birds and wildlife.

From Rawnsley Park Station, flights show Wilpena Pound and the gorges around it. Other flights go to Arkaroola in the northern Flinders Ranges and to Ngarnamukhana / Lake Torrens. Lunch stops include the William Creek Hotel on the Lake Eyre route and the Prairie Hotel near Lake Torrens.

From Ceduna, local flights explore the beaches. Day tours follow the coast to the Bunda Cliffs and go to Maralinga, the site of former British nuclear bomb testing. During winter, scenic flights also leave from the Nullarbor Roadhouse. Guests can see the Bunda Cliffs and Southern Right Whales at the Head of the Great Australian Bight.

Air charter means hiring an aircraft and an experienced pilot to fly when and where you prefer. Photography and filming flights can be customised over a chosen location. Fly and dine packages combine sightseeing with Outback dining experiences.

Customers say the flights are a highlight of their trips to the Flinders Ranges and the Far West Coast. Reviews praise the commentary and the knowledge of the pilots about the land, its history and its people.

Passengers must be able to enter and exit the aircraft without help and must not weigh more than 130 kg. Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free meals can be arranged. Guests are advised to bring a jacket, water and a camera.
