Look who’s taking command of the cockpit, meet our newest and cutest pilot!

George is the proud son of one of our captains and came on board to watch his dad fly. He has already mastered the "Captains Wave" and has stopped by to show us how it's done. We love fostering a family legacy of aviation and inspiring future captains to dream big!!

Thanks for the best photo op, George!

Ever stepped off a flight and wished you could take that crisp regional air home with you? Well, now you can!

We are officially launching our new range of Organic Artisan Air. This isn't your everyday oxygen, each bottle is ethically hand caught by our pilots at 13,000ft. Think pure, high altitude air enriched with the microscopic essence of South Island glaciers and a hint of Tasman sea salt.

We want to hear from the professionals; have you made the switch to Artisan Air yet? Do you think our '13,000ft Glacier Blend' will have a smoother finish than your usual air, and how has Artisan Air improved your morning routine? Give us your best "tasting notes" in the comments! 👇💬
