MOTAT Aviation Display

Brace yourselves; New Zealand’s largest clear span wooden structure is steadily taking form at MOTAT, with the new $15 million Aviation Display Hall set for completion in time for the anticipated influx of domestic and international visitors in September.

The 2,750m2; custom designed Display Hall is more than double the size of MOTAT’s existing Aviation Hangar and will house around 40 MOTAT aircraft including the newly loaned RNZAF Skyhawk, Sunderland and Solent flying boats, Lancaster Bomber, DC3, Cessna and Tiger Moth.

The construction phase follows stage one of the aviation project, the relocation and restoration of MOTAT’s original World War II Blister Hangar. The Blister Hangar is the workshop for the volunteers who restore the aircraft in the collection.

Get along to MOTAT’s brand new Aviation Display Hall from 9 September to learn about New Zealand’s aviation history and the stories associated with our magnificent aircraft collection, housed in a world-class structure.

A return tram ride is free with MOTAT entry. Off the street tram fares are family pass $5, adult one way $1, adult return $2, child one way 50 cents, child return $1, under 5 years free.
