Air New Zealand has also expanded its support to allow three additional external mentorships to complement their existing internal allocation. These will be extended to Air New Zealand’s trade partners to continue to support their knowledge, growth, and development.    

Courtnay-Jane McCarthy, senior sales manager, Air New Zealand says that having been a partner with TIME since its inception, the airline has seen the value of mentorship.

‘This expansion of our partnership is timely as it allows us to create even more pathways in mentoring the future leaders of the travel, tourism, hospitality and cruise industries.’

Andrew Gay, chair of TIME NZ says TIME  has valued  Air New Zealand’s support over these past few somewhat difficult years. ‘It is a testament to the belief in the programme that Air New Zealand has not only extended the partnership but also expanded it to support our growth plans in 2024.’
