Heston MRO has announced the opening of its newest international line station at Auckland Airport in New Zealand. The facility has been established and will be operated through a strategic partnership with Fieldair, a New Zealand MRO provider.
This expansion marks Heston MRO’s first permanent presence in New Zealand and responds directly to the requirements of its international customer base operating services into both Australia and New Zealand. By extending its geographical footprint, Heston MRO is strengthening existing customer relationships through broader regional coverage and enhanced operational capability.
The Auckland line station offers comprehensive support for both wide-body and narrow-body aircraft, providing seamless maintenance services for long-haul and regional operators. The partnership brings together Heston MRO’s established Australasian network with Fieldair’s local expertise, enabling the provision of full Part 145 engineering services, including line maintenance support and aircraft certification for international fleets. In addition, the station will deliver Part 147 technical training through locally based programmes to support the regional aviation workforce, alongside joint non-destructive testing services, with advanced Level 2 capabilities delivered through the combined resources of Heston MRO and Fieldair across Australia and New Zealand.
“The opening of the Auckland station is a natural evolution of our customer relationships,” said Asta Zirlyte, CEO of Heston MRO. “Many of our existing airline partners who rely on us across major Australian airports also fly into New Zealand. By expanding our geographical offering to Auckland, we can now provide them with the same high-quality, ‘Total Technical Care’ solutions across their entire Pan-Tasman network.”
