A few points to note.
As far as possible
all flights originate from Camden Airport, Macquarie Grove Road, Camden, but
under some circumstances they may originate from other Airports.
You may choose to be chauffer driven in a
limousine to the airport or provide your own transport.
Public transport to Camden Airport is by train to Campbelltown station and
then bus to Camden followed by a short taxi ride to the airport.
By road, Camden is approximately 60km (1 hour) south west of Sydney via the M5.
There are weight restrictions which apply to some
aircraft (approximately 100kg) which may affect heavy passengers, please ask if
in doubt.
Safety is our first consideration and we will not fly if conditions are
unsuitable. Some of our activities are more weather tolerant than others and it
may be possible that some of your chosen activities may not be able to take
place. If bad weather prevents some or all flying then you have a choice of a
full refund (except for transport costs which may have been incurred), or you
can re-book for another day.
Our services are suitable for individuals, groups, social clubs and Corporate
groups.
You will not be allowed to fly in any aircraft if you have been SCUBA diving
within 48 hours of your flight as serious medical problems could arise.
If you are looking for a gift for that
special occasion, then a personalised
gift certificate is the answer.
Birthdays, Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Anniversaries, Graduation,
etc are just some of those times when a really memorable gift of a flight
