Our versatile yet specialised equipment enables pilots to operate (safely) in extreme environments and difficult terrain. Our aircraft are capable, durable and easy to maintain, for more productive hours in the air.
We manufacture our own parts and provide exceptional service support for a loyal global customer base who couldn’t imagine flying anything else.
We’re pleased you landed here!
We design, engineer and hand-craft exceptional aircraft and parts with unmatched durability. Premium materials are machined and hand-crafted by a highly skilled team of technicians. Our planes are built to go where others can’t, and perform reliably for decades.
Of course, we use technology like CNC to ensure precision and accuracy. But it’s the skill of our technicians and their meticulous attention to detail that give NZAero the quality edge.
Over 70 years we’ve clocked up some impressive firsts. We assembled the first dedicated agricultural aircraft, then designed an even better one. We developed the first aircraft able to lift more than it weighs. We gave the world the first XSTOL utility aircraft. We continue to innovate and push the boundaries of operational possibilities.
