About us

Continuing Airworthiness Solutions

Two ways we help: experienced airworthiness people inside your organisation through Contracting, and independent advice on high-stakes aircraft decisions through Consulting.

Plane Business International is a New Zealand aviation firm specialising in continuing airworthiness, providing contracting and consulting services to commercial aircraft operators, owners, lessors, financiers and MRO organisations.

Founded in 2015 and with offices in Christchurch and Auckland, we bring deep technical expertise and meticulous attention to compliance — delivering first-class results across every phase of the aircraft lifecycle.

Through Contracting, we place experienced people inside your organisation, from CAMs and Part 119 senior persons to maintenance controllers and records specialists. Through Consulting, we give independent advice on acquisitions, records and lease transitions, CAMO set-up and review, audit readiness, and distressed assets. We do no maintenance and issue no release to service, so our advice is always independent.

We work with a wide range of clients across the aviation sector — including airlines, charter operators, aircraft lessors, and MRO facilities — both in New Zealand and internationally.

We provide solutions for continuing airworthiness compliance.
