Airways Corporation of New Zealand Limited Annual Report 2018 2019
CHAIR AND CEO’S REVIEW
A I RSHARE Airways is committed to doing everything we can to enhance aviation safety and ensure the safe passage of aircraft in controlled airspace as drone use increases. Central to this is AirShare, which was first launched in 2014 and became a subsidiary of Airways in December 2018. AirShare has evolved from a one- stop-shop website providing information on how to operate drones safely, to a stand-alone business with a wider purpose to develop a safe, transparent and efficient UTM system for New Zealand. The first AirShare mobile app was released in March 2019, allowing users to see where they can fly, file a flight plan and gain approvals to access controlled airspace. The app provides proximity and surveillance data for better situational awareness and sends automated text alerts for boundary infringements. The AirShare website was also refreshed, focusing on ease of use for logging flights, learning the rules, and growing the AirShare database of more than 14,000 registered drone operators. Engagement with drone operators throughout New Zealand is a key focus as AirShare works to grow awareness of the platform and create useful tools for users.
