The aviation news this week has been dominated by two developments: first by the signing in India of a critical ‘Aviation Arrangement’ or MoU to facilitate trade. Read more here from John Nicholson who accompanied a number of training, airline services and airport technology companies on the mission. This mission exposed many potential Indian customers to the capabilities of the New Zealand aviation industry and cemented a number of strong relationships that are already in place.
We intend leading a similarly constructed delegation to Indonesia in the New Year. If you’re interested in joining the group, express your interest to

Over The Top Helicopters is a current client of NZForex and this is what 'choppy" has to say
It is with great pleasure I recommend the services of NZForex. As a helicopter company we import our helicopters and parts from overseas and it is important when trading in large amounts that we are given a sharp service. Over The Top Helicopters have been using the services offered by NZForex since 2007. At all times we have found the rates of exchange significantly more appealing than that of the mainstream banks or indeed that of our previous foreign exchange broker. NZForex provide us with a reliable and personal service which make any currency trade straight forward, safe and simple. I do not have any hesitation to recommend NZForex services to those wanting to enhance their international business procedures particularly to other members of the Aviation Industry who as we know are often dealing in large overseas transactions or on shore remittance of foreign currency for example insurance premiums. Thank you again NZForex.
