New Zealand-based Flight School Signs LOI for 10 Elixir 100HP Full Glass Cockpit Trainer Aircraft
Elixir Aircraft, an aircraft manufacturer and International Aviation Academy of New Zealand (IAANZ), a New Zealand professional training organisation are embarking on an exciting partnership.
Following a visit by a delegation from the IAANZ in April to Elixir Aircraft in La Rochelle where they received demo flights and an in-depth study of the aircraft and its ecosystem. The professional training organisation has committed to renewing its fleet with the 4th generation aircraft. Aiming to order a minimum of two aircraft per year for the next 5 years.
Elixir Aircraft is offering an extremely modern, safer, greener aircraft that also cuts maintenance time by almost 60%. This is of major interest to a flying school that operates a large fleet on the other side of the planet. “The part catalogue for an Elixir consists of between 20 to 30 times less references than existing older generation aircraft, so it’s an incredible opportunity for a flying school to manage its spare parts and day-to-day operations,” says Mike Tonkin head of sales for Elixir.
On the threshold of the Rugby World Cup, where the All Blacks and Les Bleus will kick off the tournament in Paris, the aircraft manufacturer and the flying-school are looking forward to a shared horizon, one that is sure to be sweeter, stated Jeremy Ford CEO IAANZ.
