This article sheds some light on that possibility:

Does the District Council have any understanding of running a glider operation? Hopefully they were somewhat aware of how the previous one that worked operated. Some understanding seems necessary to be able to evaluate the interested parties.

Hope it works out.


The Omarama Airfield Limited, which owns the airfield, is half owned by the council, and half by the gliding community through the Omarama Soaring Center. So there are gliding people directly involved in the decision making process. The council are very supportive of gliding in Omarama.

At the moment things are still unsettled, but a lot of people have a lot invested in the Omarama gliding site. We'll struggle this coming season but I expect we'll have a minimal operation going when the soaring starts. There will at least be launching available with winch and aerotow.

I'm ready to make a reservation for flight training in February 2022.
