We were thrilled to host Mark Brown, Founder of 11 Aviation and renowned Kodiak expert, for an immersive training session with our team at Glenorchy Air. Mark’s extensive experience with the Daher Kodiak brought invaluable insights as we integrated the first two registered Kodiak 100’s in New Zealand into our modern fleet.
In his latest YouTube video, Mark captures the essence of his training experience with us, highlighting the Kodiak’s exceptional performance in New Zealand’s unique flying conditions.

Mark’s hands-on approach and detailed walkthroughs provided our pilots with a deeper understanding of the aircraft’s systems and performance nuances. His expertise ensured that our team is well-equipped to operate the Kodiak safely and efficiently, enhancing our service offerings to destinations like Milford Sound and Mt. Cook.
This collaboration highlights our commitment to excellence and continuous learning. We’re proud to pioneer the use of the Kodiak 100 in New Zealand’s commercial aviation sector and grateful for Mark’s contribution to our journey.
