Core Aviation (New Zealand)

Core Aviation is an aircraft maintenance, avionics and sales company based at North Shore Airport in Dairy Flat, north of Auckland, New Zealand. Its website covers four areas: maintenance, avionics, maintenance control and aircraft sales, and it presents the Bell 407, 429 and 505 helicopters.

Maintenance

The company describes its aim as keeping aircraft at peak performance with timely, cost effective maintenance and minimal downtime, with a team of experienced engineers and a commitment to safety on every job. The engineering team works on helicopters and fixed wing aircraft: scheduled maintenance, repairs and inspections, modification installations, project management, inspection authorisation certification, corrosion control, detailed aircraft cleaning and sheet metal repairs. The maintenance contact is Ian Hart.

Avionics

The avionics department, led by Harry van der Hoeven, installs and integrates navigation and communication systems and cockpit upgrades, and holds distributorships for avionics products. The site does not list the brands.

Maintenance control

A maintenance planning team can take over continuing airworthiness management for owners and operators: record keeping, scheduled inspections, maintenance planning and tracking of compliance requirements. The contact is Cindy Hart. The service is optional and aimed at owners who would rather hand the paperwork and planning to a dedicated team than manage it themselves.

Aircraft sales

Lachlan Jones handles aircraft sales and operations. In October 2026 the sales page listed a Guimbal Cabri G2, a 2007 Aviat A-1B Husky and an Airbus AS355 F1 being parted out. The company also represents Bell helicopters, describing the 407GXi, 429 and 505.

Location

North Shore Airport (NZNE) is a general aviation airfield at Dairy Flat on Auckland's North Shore, about 25 km north of the city centre, used by flight schools, private owners and helicopter operators. Core Aviation's hangar is on Postman Road on the airfield.
