Registered as Air New Zealand Limited.
Verified 30 July 2026
Air New Zealand is New Zealand's flag carrier, running domestic turboprop and jet services alongside long haul international Boeing 787 routes from Auckland. Its jet fleet vacancies are mostly filled by internal transfer from the turboprop fleet, with a minority of seats open to external direct entry pilots.
Applications are made on Air New Zealand's own site. SkyStudy never collects an application, a document or a fee.
What the operator asks for
Only what Air New Zealand states publicly. "Not stated" means the operator does not publish that figure, not that there is no requirement, and never that the requirement is zero.
Any age, nationality, residency, height or vision criterion above is the operator's own stated criterion, quoted from its own page. Some such criteria are lawful where an operator recruits and unlawful elsewhere, including in the EU. SkyStudy reports them factually and does not adopt them as requirements of its own.
Every published profile is checked by hand against the operator's own careers page, and is flagged for a recheck 180 days after that check. Requirements change without notice, so confirm every figure on the operator's own careers page before you apply.
Contract type: Not stated. Do not assume direct employment; some operators contract through an agency or on a self-employed basis, which changes tax, sick pay and pension entirely.
Pay: Not stated on the operator's own page.
For what pilots earn by region and seat, with its own sources and dates, see the pilot salary guide. Those are market ranges, not an offer from this operator.
Not stated. This operator does not publish its selection stages, so nothing is listed here. A recruitment site claiming to know the stages is guessing, and so would we be.

Provenance
Each entry is the sentence the value was read from, on the operator's own site. If a figure here is out of date, the quote is what to check it against.
