"Kiwi Air" Virtual Airlines

A place to converse about the general aspects of flight simulation in New Zealand

Have you guys ever heard of Kiwi Air before?

Kiwi Air is a young and growing Virtual Airline based in New Zealand.  Our pilots enjoy flying in some of the most demanding and visually stunning environments to be found anywhere in the world using our fleet of modern piston, turboprop and jet aircraft.

This 'new-look' website marks the most complete overhaul of Kiwi Air and it's operations since its initial launch in July 2004.  We have now split into two divisions with pilots being able to fly for one or both branches, depending on what style of flying they enjoy:


Kiwi Air - is the new name for our regional and international airline.  We operate a comprehensive system of regional routes and an international service to the Pacific area and Australia.


Kiwi Air Scenic - is our new service flying adventure and expedition routes across the whole of New Zealand.  Most flights are made in small piston engine aircraft under VFR rules and offer an incredible challenge to pilots looking for something a little different!


I had not myself untill quite recently, but still now I only know one pilot who flys with them. Not many people discuss them or post screenshots on other forums I visited so I would be interested to hear your opionions of them please!

My only opinion so far is that their livery is cool! :D

Hi Cheekey!

Who would that pilot be ;) Its a great little Airline which is the dream of Mike Walters to create a VA based in New Zealand revolving around GA planes! When it first started I got onboard and am responsible for updating the more modern look of the Logo and paint scheme used. Not that I am bragging it was just one of those flashes of inspiration to seperate us from another VA that is now defunct that was using the White on Traditional white on Black Fern.

So thanks for the comment on the livery B)

Now the strange thing is the 3 founding members and long standing members are all actually English the only exception to the location of these three is myself being in New Zealand and Mike who is a wannabe Kiwi later this year he hopes ;) What is it about us poms?

Edit!

I am afraid that this little VA will no longer be a Kiwi VA but part of another VA as from May 1st which loses its appeal to me as being a Kiwi Airline.

As such I am resigning from that VA!

Thanks for joining up BM,

The idea behind the airline is very appealing as it revolves around GA. I prefer the low and slow approach to the sim, but also I like airliners, so the fact that Kiwi Air has combined both of those and is gaining a new look soon makes me want to join up- so expect to see me on your pilot role in May B)
