Airways New Zealand

Airways New Zealand is the country's air navigation service provider. The website says it safely manages air traffic across one of the largest airspaces in the world. The about page says it guides over 400,000 flights across New Zealand's skies every year.

Its air traffic management services run from 19 control towers, two operating centres, and support offices across the country. The website says these services support around 4,000 customers across the aviation sector. Customers include airlines, airports, the New Zealand Defence Force, and general aviation operators.

Pilots and drone operators can use flight planning tools. The site has pages on planning a trip, payments and accounts, and drone operations. Customers can make payments online, and they can send enquiries about invoices, addresses, and aircraft ownership changes.

Airways sets its services and prices through a Service Framework and a Pricing Framework. The site says both took effect on 1 September 2025. It also publishes a flight charge calculator and runs industry consultations on pricing.

Its subsidiary, Airways International, delivers airspace design, training, and consultancy services in more than 60 countries. The website says the subsidiary shares New Zealand's expertise with the world. It also lists air traffic controller training for New Zealand students.

Sustainability is central to the company's 10-year strategy, and the site describes work to reduce emissions across the industry. The company says it has helped shape New Zealand's skies for over 75 years. The website lists air traffic controller careers, technology careers, and business and operational support roles.

The website has a job search link and separate pages for air traffic controller careers, technology careers, and business and operational support careers. Its performance reports page includes statements of corporate intent, interim reports, and annual reports.

The pricing page says the Standard Terms and Conditions take effect on 2 November 2026. The contact page offers an OIA request link and a separate IFIS team contact for pilots.
