Salt Air is a New Zealand charter airline based in Paihia in the Bay of Islands, in the Northland Region of the North Island.

History
Salt Air was founded in 1992 by Grant Harnish. It operates two fixed wing aircraft based at Kerikeri Airport and two helicopters based on the Paihia waterfront.
Salt Air initially operated a Grumman Widgeon seaplane from the Paihia waterfront offering scenic flights around the Bay of Islands. The business grew steadily in the first season and it was decided to make the Bay of Islands a more permanent base.
