Winner: Excellence in Māori and Pasifika; Runner Up: Supreme Business of the Year
JNP Aviation has been recognised for the outstanding contribution to culture and community at the Tauranga Business Awards 2026. Winning the Excellence in Māori and Pasifika award, JNP was further recognized as the Runner Up for the Supreme Business of the Year.
These awards celebrate our commitment to creating genuine career pathways for Māori and Pasifika in aviation, they celebrate our 'safety first, people always' culture our teams bring to the ramp every single day and also our mission to set a new standard in regional aviation services across the motu. It reflects the incredible work, passion and dedication of our whole team every single day.
With a workforce where 40% identify as Māori or Pasifika, JNP's cultural values of whanaungatanga (kinship) and manaakitanga (hospitality) have turned into an competitive advantage, making the awards even more meaningful while demonstrating that cultural values and business can successfully go hand in hand.
