Golden Bay Air Limited is a small airline based in Takaka, New Zealand. The airline currently operates two Piper Aircraft on a seasonal basis to Wellington and Karamea, with connecting road shuttle services to the Abel Tasman National Park, the Heaphy Track in the Kahurangi National Park and to and from Takaka township. Other services provided by the airline include charter flights around New Zealand flown on demand and preset scenic routes around the National Parks as well as Farewell Spit.[4][5] Golden Bay Air originated in 2006 as Capital Air and later changed its name in 2009.

The airline was originally based in Wellington, but moved its base of operations to Takaka at the time of the name change.[6]

In 2010, Golden Bay Air commissioned an GNSS[citation needed] instrument approach system at Takaka Aerodrome.[7]
