Frequently Asked Questions
The BLAK team answers the most common questions and covers the essentials for those thinking about flying to and from Rarotonga and the Cook Islands.
Can long-range private jets fly directly to the Cook Islands?
Yes. Long-range private jets can fly directly to Rarotonga International Airport (RAR), the main aviation gateway to the Cook Islands. The runway length of approximately 2,300 metres (7,500 ft) allows many business jets arriving from New Zealand, Australia and parts of the South Pacific to operate direct flights.
Is there a private jet based in the Cook Islands?
Yes. The Cook Islands is home to a locally based Cessna Citation business jet, operated domestically alongside regional turboprop aircraft. This makes the Cook Islands one of the few small Pacific island nations with a resident business jet capable of operating charter flights between islands and to nearby destinations across the South Pacific.
Can private jets land directly on Aitutaki?
Yes. Most private jet travellers arrive first at Rarotonga International Airport before continuing onward to Aitutaki Airport (AIT). The onward charter flight takes approximately 50 minutes and delivers travellers directly to Aitutaki’s vast turquoise lagoon, widely regarded as one of the most beautiful lagoons in the South Pacific.
How far is the Cook Islands from New Zealand by private jet?
The Cook Islands are located approximately 3,000 kilometres northeast of New Zealand. Private jet charter flights between Auckland and Rarotonga typically take around four hours, depending on aircraft type and routing. This makes the Cook Islands one of the most accessible South Pacific island destinations for private jet travellers departing New Zealand.
