This partnership provides Oceania Aviation access to communicate and work with Aviation NZ’s 300 strong member base spread across GA operators, manufacturers, MROs, trainers, logistics and services providers. Several initiatives are being developed under the agreement which aim to provide value to members, in line with Aviation NZ’s five key competencies of safety, advocacy, expertise, communication and benefits. Examples of these initiatives include member offers for Oceania’s products and services, development of an ongoing webinar series designed to educate and inform members, and member events.

“We are extremely excited to be partnering with Aviation NZ and we see it as a great way to provide increased value to its members. We are aware of Aviation NZ’s credibility and advocacy within the local GA industry, and aligning ourselves with an organization so deeply engaged with the sector will allow us to further support both current and potential customers better,” said Liv Lewis-Long, head of marketing at Salus Aviation.
