Navair (Sydney Bankstown) has received Civil Aviation Authority New Zealand approval under Part 129 regulations for a foreign air operator's certificate (FAOC), allowing the company to conduct charter services to 13 aerodromes across the country without limitations.

“For a long time, we were working around a hard limit of four flights into New Zealand a year. It meant we were often planning trans-Tasman charters months in advance rather than being able to book clients when they needed us at short notice. This certificate changes that completely. We can now fly into New Zealand as often as our clients need,” said Navair CEO Rick Pegus.
