JNP Aviation

Busy week for the rangatahi in Whakatāne finishing off their assessments with support from our CEO, Josh, who taught the JNP Aviation Training micro-credential Take Off - Aviation Ground Handling.
Awesome to see the hard work, focus and commitment from everyone putting in the mahi to reach their goals.

Over the past few weeks our teams have represented JNP and JNP Aviation Training at many school careers expos across the Bay of Plenty region.
Rangatahi had the chance to talk to the team about different career pathways and understand the complex aviation industry. Those who were interested could learn some basic aircraft marshalling signals and test their skills in our virtual reality.

It's always great to showcase what we do and inspire rangatahi to explore an industry they might not have thought of before.

Last month, we have celebrated 20 years of JNP Aviation.

What started as a small business in Whakatāne with a passion for aviation, has grown into two decades of great people, strong relationships and lots of hard work and dedication along the way.

20 years of keeping aviation moving, and looking forward to many more years to come.

Today's Pasifika Navigators of Tomorrow expo was a full success - it was great to see so many faces from across Aotearoa and for Josh and Una to inspire so many students with their stories.
Happy to have JNP Aviation and JNP Aviation Training teams showcasing opportunities in the aviation industry.
