Glider Fleet & Rentals

With five Duo Discsus's (including a brand new Duo Discus X) Glide Omarama operates the world's largest fleet of Duo's. - The Schemp-Hirth built Duo Discus is also recognised as the best high performance cross country training glider in the world. In addition we operate a two seat Grob 103, a two seat Blanik and 7 single seat gliders. We are proud of our fleet which is the newest and best kept fleet of rental gliders in the country.

Currently we have a limited number of spaces in the new hangar for long term lease and as well have spaces for sale in the old hangars.
