INFLITE Group, a New Zealand aviation and adventure tourism operator, is reaching new heights with the milestone news that the company has been named as a finalist in two prestigious awards, reflecting their deep commitment to providing a world-class experience for both staff and consumers alike.

With an unwavering commitment to excellence, sustainability, and customer satisfaction, INFLITE has offered travellers the opportunity to explore the breath-taking landscapes of Aotearoa for more than a decade from iconic locations such as Auckland, Aoraki/Mt Cook, Abel Tasman and the West Coast in an unparalleled, bespoke way.

This year the company has been recognised for its delivery of exceptional internal and customer experiences by being named finalists in the 2 Degrees Business Awards for Employer of Choice and in the New Zealand Tourism Awards for Excellence in Tourism.

“It’s a huge honour to have been named as a finalist in both the 2 Degrees Business Awards and the New Zealand Tourism Awards,” says INFLITE Group CEO Adam Joyce.

“It’s a true testament to the incredible effort of our passionate team across the country.”

INFLITE sits at the top of an elite group of New Zealand tourism businesses, proudly holding the recognition of being a Tourism New Zealand Qualmark Gold operator as well as being Certified CarboNZero.

INFLITE’S diverse and modern fleet of aircraft offer travellers the opportunity to embark on a high-flying adventure from North to South – whether that’s action-packed Heli-fishing , romantic getaways to Waiheke Island, bucket-list ticking skydives, or a world exclusive experience landing a ski plane a glacier.

These accolades bring to light INFLITE’s commitment to delivering truly remarkable travel experiences for both staff and consumers alike, while simultaneously setting a benchmark for the industry’s approach to sustainable tourism. INFLITE prides itself on its core values, including a deep commitment to the principles of Kaitiakitanga (guardianship of the natural and cultural environment) and Manaakitanga (respect and generosity towards guests and each other).

The company also proudly supports the Tiaki Promise, which is an inspiring initiative that promotes responsible travel and care for New Zealand’s precious environment.

In the case of Heletranz, Auckland helicopter service under INFLITE Group – the commitment to delivering exceptional service and connecting travellers to the best and most exclusive destinations in the country, is proven by NPS scores more than 90 per cent and a wealth of clientele that can always expect a seamless experience from booking to flight.

“The INFLITE Group continues to go from strength to strength,” says Adam.

“We’re committed to offering a multitude of experiences and want to take luxury, sustainable travel to even greater heights, inviting adventurers and dreamers alike to respectfully explore the wonders of New Zealand with us.

“At INFLITE, it’s not just about the flight, but about the complete journey, and we’re proud to be sharing our core principles with each and every one of our team as well as with our guests,” he says.
