In the community
We're committed to a purpose bigger than just our airline. Our goal is to supercharge New Zealand's success. We work with our partners to improve the life of Kiwis, socially, environmentally and economically.
We do this in lots of ways, with the help of our partners. We showcase the best of New Zealand here and overseas. We inspire young leaders, and invest in biodiversity, conservation and scientific research. We lead the way in sustainable tourism, and we champion targeted regional development.
Our partners
National Geographic
We partnered with the National Geographic Society to host a series of Photo Camps across the country. The five-day camps provide opportunities for young people aged 16 - 21 to tell their stories through photography. Under the guidance of world class National Geographic photographers, youth are taught the tools of photography to explore the world around them and share their unique perspective on what it means to be a young person in New Zealand.
