Established Aviation Business – Pilot Owner-Operator Opportunity (Confidential) Business for Sale Wanaka

This established New Zealand aviation business with over 25 years of operating history is offered for sale due to the planned retirement of the current owners.

The business operates within a specialised tourism aviation segment and has developed a strong reputation, repeat clientele, and consistent seasonal demand. The operation benefits from solid forward bookings, established systems, and documented procedures that support safe, compliant client experience, with exceptional client reviews.

This opportunity is well suited to a funded pilot owner-operator who is commercially minded and capable of combining flying duties with operational and management responsibilities.

A licensed pilot with commercial aviation experience

An owner-operator comfortable with leadership and management responsibilities
