Aviation Conference, Wellington June 2016

Aviation operational safety and human error specialist from Britain, Dr Steve Jarvis, will be a key speaker at the Aviation Leadership Summit organised by Aviation New Zealand at Shed 6 in Wellington on 28 and 29 June 2016.

‘Steve specialises in the real-world application of human science to aviation. He has designed and delivered training courses for aviation authorities, airlines and air forces around the World’ said John Nicholson, Acting Chief Executive of industry organisation Aviation NZ.

‘His New Zealand customers include Air New Zealand and Airways New Zealand, while his international portfolio of clients reads like a who’s who in aviation – both fixed wing and helicopters,’ said Nicholson.

This year’s aviation conference ‘Meeting tomorrow’s challenges and succeeding today’ will give delegates a better understanding of what the future holds, some ideas as to what they can do now to improve business performance, and showcase some New Zealand aviation companies that are succeeding internationally.

The Aviation Conference week starts on 25 June with two days of training for the agricultural and rotary sectors followed by divisional conferences and a Leadership Forum for all the industry on 28 and 29 June.

Other speakers at the Leadership Forum include:

• Hon Simon Bridges, Minister of Transport

• Kirk Hope, CEO Business New Zealand

• Martin Matthews, Secretary of Transport

• Nigel Gould, Chair of the Civil Aviation Authority

• Graeme Harris, Director of Civil Aviation

A gala dinner on 28 June will see the industry recognise outstanding performance by individuals and companies, while a trade fair with up to 26 exhibitors from 27 to 29 June.

‘Delegates from Australia, Canada and the United States have already registered for the conference and we expect representation too from ASEAN’ said Nicholson.

The conference provides an opportunity for the leaders of today and tomorrow to gain invaluable insights into the industry’s future and inform their decision making so that the industry achieves its growth potential.
