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 kiwi's, 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 help National Geographic Society host a series of photo camps for underserved youths. The five-day camps provide opportunities for young people between 16 - 20 to tell their stories through pictures. They are able to explore the world around them and share their own perspective on what it means to be a Kiwi. National Geographic photographers help them express their economic, environmental and social issues through their images. Find out more
