AeroGuard Welcomes Its First Class of Air New Zealand Cadets Within the Mangōpare Pilot Cadetship

AeroGuard Flight Training Center is excited to welcome its first class of Cadets from the Mangōpare Air New Zealand Pilot Cadetship. Air New Zealand selected AeroGuard as its flight training provider early this year, establishing a significant partnership in which AeroGuard will train and prepare the premier airline’s pilots.

Within this partnership, Air New Zealand Cadets will join other airline cadets at AeroGuard’s Phoenix, Arizona, USA campus where they will complete their ab initio flight training and experience AeroGuard’s high-quality and carefully structured curriculum. AeroGuard will professionally train the Cadets from start to finish, establishing experienced and confident pilots ready to start their careers.

Together with Ansett Aviation Training, AeroGuard is providing Air New Zealand with an end-to-end solution for their cadet training programs. Starting from the recruitment phase, continuing through ab initio training, simulator training, and Type Rating, this approach will provide Air New Zealand with a comprehensive solution to train skilled pilots prepared for the excitement and challenges of airline operations.

AeroGuard’s CEO, Joel Davidson, shared “AeroGuard is pleased to partner with Air New Zealand and Ansett to offer our professionally focused beginning-to-end flight training. We are excited to welcome this first class of Cadets and provide them with our comprehensive training program, preparing them for successful careers from start to finish. This integrated training program will shape the next generation of pilots for leading airlines like Air New Zealand.”

With AeroGuard’s extensive capacity, expanding training resources, large instructor pipeline, and growing fleet, the school stands out as the leading provider in global pilot training. AeroGuard will provide Air New Zealand with the highly skilled pilots they require while offering aspiring pilots in New Zealand a direct and seamless pathway to become fully airline-ready professionals and represent their heritage as they inspire others to do the same.
