First Class of Cadets Joins US Flight Training

AeroGuard Flight Training Center is welcoming its first class of Cadets from the Mangōpare Air New Zealand Pilot Cadetship. Air New Zealand selected AeroGuard as its flight training provider early this year, establishing a significant partnership in which AeroGuard will train and prepare the premier airline’s pilots.

Within this partnership, Air New Zealand Cadets will join other airline cadets at AeroGuard’s Phoenix, Arizona, USA campus where they will complete their ab initio flight training. AeroGuard will professionally train the Cadets from start to finish, establishing experienced and confident pilots ready to start their careers.

Together with Ansett Aviation Training, AeroGuard is providing Air New Zealand with an end-to-end solution for their cadet training programs. Starting from the recruitment phase, continuing through ab initio training, simulator training, and Type Rating, this approach will provide Air New Zealand with a comprehensive solution to train skilled pilots prepared for the excitement and challenges of airline operations.
