Our Story

Tie-Upp Aviation came into existence with a goal of being the leader in sustainable, accessible, safe and affordable flight training.

The Problem

Learning to fly a plane has always been an expensive pursuit for many. This entry barrier takes the dream away from many people who have at some point in their lives have thought about or have been curious about learning to fly at least once.

In most cities across the country and around the world many people don't have the option of learning to fly. The flying school or club maybe hundreds and thousands of kilometers away making it almost impossible for people to learn to fly. Being asked to sign up for a full time course and pay huge deposits is another major entry barrier that people most often face across the globe.

The solution

We have taken innovative measures and introduced modern technology in order to make aviation more affordable, sustainable and accessible. We have acquired a trainer aircraft that has the least carbon, noise footprints in the world along with an ballistic parachute aircraft recovery system.

Thanks to the support of senior industry experts, friends and well wishers, Tie-Upp has successfully established the most affordable, accessible and sustainable flight training platform for future aviators in New Zealand.
