Rod Drury had a big vision and turned it into reality as founder of Xero. He shared with Visionweek his new vision of NZ leading the way in electric flight. What do you think? Could it be the start of a whole new industry for NZ?
“I think one of the really big ideas is for us to lead in electric flight. You know, one of the cool things about New Zealand is we are a long skinny country, but you know, we're an Island. 100% of our domestic network is flying under two hours. You think if we had a vision in like a 10 year timeframe where we had a hundred percent of our domestic network flying, using electricity”

Couldn't agree more Rod Drury. We at ElectricAir have just brought the first electric plane to NZ and we have ambitious plans to encourage and grow the short haul electric aviation space. Come for a fly! www.electricair.nz
We have the local expertise and experience to build an industry and suitable pilot training, agricultural and scenic flight markets to be first adopters before short haul domestic flight market takes off. The first electric 2 seater plane is being launched by Electric Air in Christchurch. Who wants to be part of a working group to turn this vision into reality?
