What we’re working on

At any one time, we can be working to progress a range of issues affecting members across all our divisions.

AIANZ makes submissions to Government and their agencies on policy matters that affect our membership

We will frequently make submissions to Parliament’s Transport and Industrial Relations Committee to ensure our voice is heard

Other areas of focus include, but are not limited to:

Funding Model Review for CAA and the Aviation Security Service (AVSEC). With these agencies relying on a user pays system funded from industry, it is crucial AIANZ is consulted and included.

Operational efficiency issues, especially as they relate to CAA’s processing of Operations Specifications are causing financial strain for our membership.

The pilot, engineer and general aviation labour shortage needs constant attention. Flexible immigration settings are needed to attract overseas but there also needs to be a rethink of NZ based training and the current incentives in place to get Kiwis into the aviation industry.

District and Regional Plans are a strategic focus for AIANZ, especially in the NZAAA and NZHA area. Please refer to District and Regional Plans in this section of the website for more details.
