About CPAS
Coastal Peaks Air Service (CPAS), established on December 19, 2025, is a Virtual Charter (VC) and specialty flight operator for Microsoft Flight Simulator. We operate general aviation aircraft and helicopters for tours, charters, and HEMS missions, flying realistic routes across New Zealand's South Island. Our flights cover Canterbury, Christchurch, Banks Peninsula, and the dramatic landscapes of the West Coast and Southern Alps, offering an experience distinct from traditional virtual airlines.
