Air National

Air National has re-branded some of its corporate jet services under the brand of JetPlus and FBO operations under SkyCare International.

In January 2011, Air National's operator's certificate was suspended by the New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) over alleged training records irregularities. Air National appealed the decision in the High Court and the suspension was quashed pending a full investigation. The CAA appealed the high Court decision to the Court of Appeal and the lower court ruling was quashed in turn.

As of January 2012, Air National no longer operates. All aircraft are now in use by other charter operators Vincent Aviation and Airwork and the company no longer holds an Air Operator's Certificate.

In October 2014, Air National's BAe146-200 was returned from Vincent Aviation.
