Pilot Owner-Operator Opportunity (Confidential)

This established New Zealand aviation business with over 25 years of operating history is offered for sale due to the planned retirement of the current owners.
The business operates within a specialised tourism aviation segment and has developed a strong reputation, repeat clientele, and consistent seasonal demand. The operation benefits from forward bookings, established systems, and documented procedures that support safe, compliant client experience, with exceptional client reviews.
This opportunity is well suited to a funded pilot owner-operator who is commercially minded and capable of combining flying duties with operational and management responsibilities. The business operates with an existing pool of pilots, and the incoming owner will be responsible for overseeing pilot rostering, day-to-day scheduling, and maintaining operational standards.
The current owners are committed to providing a structured handover to ensure continuity and a smooth transition.

Key features include:
Long-established aviation operation
Recognised brand with repeat clients
Existing pilot pool and operational systems
Forward bookings with seasonal revenue visibility
Structured handover from retiring owners
Opportunity to step into ownership without start-up risk

This business will suit:
A licensed pilot with commercial aviation experience
An owner-operator comfortable with leadership and management responsibilities
A purchaser with access to funding to complete an acquisition of this nature

Due to the nature of the operation, confidentiality is essential.
Further information will be provided only after buyer qualification and completion of a confidentiality agreement.
