Hey folks, just read that Navair from Sydney Bankstown finally got their foreign operator permit from New Zealand's CAA. They've been granted the FAOC under Part 129 regs, which means they can now run charter services to 13 different spots in NZ without any flight limitations.
Before this, they were stuck with just four flights a year into NZ, which sounds like a real headache for planning. Now, they can be a lot more flexible and jump in when clients need last-minute charters. I think that's gonna be a game-changer for them, especially with so much trans-Tasman traffic.
Honestly, I'm curious how this'll impact other charter services operating between Australia and New Zealand. Will it push others to get similar approvals? It's pretty cool that Navair can now offer more options for those wanting to fly across the ditch at short notice.
Anyone here used Navair before? How do they compare to other charter operators in the region? Would love to hear your thoughts!
