Calling all New Zealand drone operators – we’re pleased to share that we’ve undergone a refresh of airshare.co.nz, New Zealand’s hub for recreational and commercial drone operators. Our revamped site encourages and supports uncrewed aircraft operators to log their drone flights, providing easy access to the AirShare web and mobile apps and useful resources and information to help them plan flights and identify safe places to fly in all types of airspace. Through AirShare, drone operators can request authorisation to fly from Airways New Zealand and aerodrome operators. AirShare in New Zealand is powered by the AirShare uncrewed traffic management (UTM) system – learn more here: https://bit.ly/4eRrv99 #Drones #Dronesafety #UTM

About us
AirShare is a proven uncrewed aircraft traffic management (UTM) system, to help air navigation service providers and regulators safely and efficiently integrate uncrewed traffic into their airspace. A cloud-based solution developed by Airways International Ltd, AirShare is a world leader in UA traffic management, providing real-time display and management of UA activity, integration with UA detection systems in and around aerodrome control zones, and a one-stop shop for drone pilots to plan flights, gain approvals and operate safely. AirShare has been utilised in live operational airspace in New Zealand since 2014, as New Zealand’s drone user hub and Airways’ UTM system – reducing risks related to uncrewed aircraft, enhancing situational awareness for ATCs, and reducing ATC workload. We’ve designed AirShare to integrate with other systems using public APIs – creating an environment where the drone industry can innovate using the services and data made available through our UTM system.

George Ridd, AirShare Product Manager, will be presenting alongside industry colleagues at the UAVNZ Conference next month, as part of the ‘What if Drones Came first? The Future of Airspace’ session. Registrations are still open for this conference - you won’t want to miss this discussion, where George will cover recent AirShare developments, including the work we’re doing with uncontrolled aerodromes. #UTM #AAM #Drones

The Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand Emerging Aviation Technologies Forum was held this week. Our own Justine Whitfield was there, collaborating with NZ and global industry colleagues in joint efforts to support emerging aviation in Aotearoa ✈️ Airways International Ltd (AIL) #UTM #AAM #NZaerospace
Great to be part of supporting emerging aviation in NZ at the CAA Emerging Aviation Technologies Forum this week, and to catch-up with NZ, Canadian (Ryan) and Singaporean colleagues Lah Chong Aw and Zachary Seah! Fab venue to grab some pics at the break too. Especially when pic taken by someone who had flown the aircraft.

We’re pleased to share that we’re running a trial of AirShare for a group of New Zealand unattended aerodromes and large landowners, to help inform what a safe, fit-for-purpose UTM system and ecosystem looks like for Aotearoa now and in the future. The first trial participant is Tekapo Aerodrome - we've been in close collaboration with Air Safaris to deploy AirShare at their aerodrome. Qualified drone pilots operating near the aerodrome are being encouraged to log their flights via AirShare, saving time and effort in requesting approval to fly and streamlining Air Safari’s processes around uncrewed aircraft flight management.

The need to ensure safe integration of uncrewed aircraft into our airspace requires careful planning and strong cooperation, via a UTM that can integrate with other systems and enable a UTM ecosystem. One vital function available in AirShare is the integration with electronic and paper-based flight strips – providing ATCs in towers with info on filed flight plans by pilots. The AirShare system produces a flight strip 30 minutes before the logged start time of an uncrewed aircraft flight, and a flight termination strip – helping to provide airspace managers with an operational picture to reduce the risk from drones. #UTM #AAM #ATM #integration

Proud to be advancing uncrewed aircraft operations in Aotearoa alongside our friends at Tāwhaki National Aerospace Centre! The AirShare UTM is now live at Tāwhaki, in the first phase of our collaboration agreement - facilitating uncrewed aircraft operations at the centre and providing a picture of airspace activity around the site at Kaitorete near Christchurch. We'll be trialling advanced UTM features at Tāwhaki, and gathering data on how UTM supports the development of a modern, safe airspace that serves all users.

New Zealand is well represented at the International Civil Aviation Organization Advanced Air Mobility Symposium 2024 in Montreal! Justine Whitfield and John McKenzie were pleased to connect with colleagues from the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand and VertiLink Advanced Air Mobility Group at the event. Symposium attendees have been hearing about the significant efforts being made globally to enable uncrewed aircraft and AAM - and the NZ AAM sector is playing an important part in this! #UTM #AAM2024 ICAO Unmanned Aviation & Advanced Air Mobility
Kia ora, great to see NZ Inc well represented at the ICAO AAM symposium with CAA & Airways! Along with other Kiwi’s and hear about all the mahi/work in NZ and globally to enable UAs and AAM. AirShare Day 3 started with a panel discussing the human role in AAM (incl fully autonomous ones like Wisk ) and considerations such as what tasks are best for humans or machines, embedding human factors in design process, what workload is appropriate for remote pilots overseeing flights – and the concept of a ‘low altitude economy’ being an area of focus and future growth for both UA and AAM.

Justine Whitfield and John McKenzie are representing AirShare and Airways International Ltd (AIL) at the International Civil Aviation Organization Advanced Air Mobility Symposium 2024 this week in Montreal. With 1400 attendees it's a busy event, with many stimulating discussions happening around AAM global harmonisation and interoperability. Integration, collaboration and safety first have been consistent themes, Justine reports. The AirShare UTM supports safe integration of uncrewed aircraft into the airspace, as part of a digital ecosystem. Are you in Montreal? Connect with Justine and John to hear about our system and developments in this space! #UTM #AAM2024 ICAO Unmanned Aviation & Advanced Air Mobility

Thank you UAVNZ for the opportunity to join the "What if drones came first?" discussion panel at last week's symposium, and discuss the work we're doing with uncontrolled aerodromes. Watch this space to hear more about this 👀 #AAM #UAM #drones
Last Tuesday, at our symposium, we posed the slightly cheeky question of "What if drones came first?" and what that would mean for airspace. George Ridd from AirShare opened the panel discussion by focussing on AirShare's work in the uncontrolled aerodrome space (after sharing a flew clever illustrations he had made). Wing Commander Richard ‘Dicko’ Beaton provided a defence force point of view in how different aircraft are integrated into the same airspace, and Scott Griffith from the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand provided some interesting future ideas such as digital flight rules. The panel discussion showed great interest from attendees in the topic area. We are grateful to AirShare for sponsoring this session and helping make our event a success.
