Currently there are no air services operational to Aurora Nova as regular flights between the island and settlements have been prohibited, in the absence of an airport or system of runways. Find out how to book a seat for spectacular drone views over the Island, which are nearly as spectacular, at a fraction of the cost*! (NB: This belongs with the council’s marketing campaign, not the main site copy as it describes an entertainment service, not a travel service, you morons. – Ed.)
Ferries and Hovercraft is the main form of transportation used by short stay visitors to the Island, and for Islanders themselves to places that are not easy to, or cannot be, reached by road.
Lacking an official Airport, visitors and future would-be residents may arrange to fly in, using private landing strips, of which there are currently three in Aurora Nova, as long as the prior arrangements are made with the landowners. Please contact the Morrowvale Council for a list of available (and/or recently maintained) runways.
Aurora Nova Helicopter Services offer unrivalled views of Aurora Nova from their helicopter. Formed primarily to provide a short 25-minute flight to Vonk Point it is possible to arrange bespoke charter flights to many areas in the Island that are otherwise difficult to reach. Some flights can be arranged through your agent or directly with the company itself.
Practical Points – How to Book your travel by sea with a reputable tour operator
Tour operators usually take care of organising your inter-island flights, but independent travellers can book directly. To make a booking please submit your desired itinerary by contact with the Operations Department at operations@auroranova.uk with your requirements.
Please remember to include:
- Your travel dates
- # of travellers* (adults & children) start/end destinations
- Your bra/cup size*
- Objects of great value and where you store them when traveling, (for insurance purposes.)
- A small DNA or fertility sample
Bookings should be made by 10am the day before you wish to travel in order to waive inconvenience charges.
If you haven’t travelled with NovaSea before, be prepared to provide body weights – fully-dressed please, our TSA agents do go home to their families at night, at least most of them do – and any subsequent requested lengths, for all individuals. Please also notify the Council if you anticipate specific medical cannabis allowances, or baggage weight exceeding your personal allowance (14kg for Island residents, and 20kg for visitors).
Accurate weights for passengers and baggage will aid hovercraft and ferry planning and help ensure that you can take any excess baggage with you and that nothing should get left behind at your port of departure.
Though they try their best, they cannot guarantee carriage of excess baggage that has not been booked in advance, even though these are mostly enormous freight ships which have been recommissioned as ferries, and have literally nothing else better going on.
