Aireon and Airways New Zealand Sign Airspace Agreement
The two are studying the possibility of deploying ADS-B for New Zealand and Auckland FIRs.

Aireon and Airways New Zealand, New Zealand’s air navigation service provider, last week signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly investigate the potential to deploy space-based automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) services in New Zealand domestic and South Pacific airspace. The agreement means Airways New Zealand and Aireon will collaboratively investigate and potentially develop applicable ADS-B regulations, standards and procedures for surveillance in the New Zealand Domestic Flight Information Region (FIR) and the oceanic Auckland FIR.
