Glider Fleet & Rentals

H2Finish

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.

This year we are building a new hangar complex with improved security, water and electricity to each glider and complete with our own workshop. 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.

  • flight computers,
  • parachutes and
  • EDS oxygen.
  • oxygen refill service.

  • a roll in roll out hangar

The gliders are available for rent to suitably qualified pilots by the day or by the week. Most of our courses include the cost of appropriate glider rental
