We love working with flight schools across New Zealand, and North Island ones are particularly special. Since we work with customers globally, being able to drive over for a visit is a real bonus! Recently, our onboarding guru, Jacquie, took advantage of this and had the pleasure of spending time with Jacob Booth, the Chief Flight Instructor, and the rest of the team at our newest Kiwi customer, the New Zealand International Commercial Pilot Academy (NZICPA), based in Whanganui.
As one of the prestigious flight schools selected by Indigo Airlines to deliver their airline cadet program and also offering the NZ Diploma in Aviation, NZICPA’s commitment to professional, career-focused training makes them an ideal fit for Aeroplanned. Our platform provides critical visibility into student progression and resource planning, ensuring timely delivery for their rigorous programs.
Gerard Glanville, CEO of NZICPA, shared: “Even at this early stage, Aeroplanned is showing us much more than we had anticipated. This product is a game-changer for us, where on-time completion is crucial. We can identify issues early and foresee the resources we need, months or even years in advance to deliver effective training.”
He also emphasised the impact on reporting: “Navigating the complexities of pilot training is one challenge, but meeting the reporting requirements for airlines, NZQA, and the Board adds another layer of complexity. Aeroplanned excels in this area as well, easing the burden by providing crucial information and significantly reducing the workload of reporting to all stakeholders. It’s impressive to see how efficiently Aeroplanned handles this aspect of our operations.”
For Jacquie, it’s always rewarding to see the hard work of the onboarding phase come to fruition: “it was wonderful to meet with Jacob and the NZICPA team in person and get a feel for their operation and their needs. I know how difficult it can be delivering time-critical courses, and it only works when the overall plan and the daily operation are in sync. It was great to be there to see how Aeroplanned is pulling it all together.”
We’re thrilled to see how Aeroplanned is enhancing operations at NZICPA and look forward to supporting their continued success!
