Three people have been made redundant as part of a restructure of the New Zealand International Commercial Pilot Academy.
The redundancies, confirmed to the Chronicle by chief executive Phill Bedford on Friday, are the result
of the restriction on international students entering New Zealand, leaving the organisation with a surplus of staff.
Two flight instructors and one administration staffer were made redundant.
But despite the job losses, Bedford said the academy, owned by Whanganui District Council Holdings, had some of its greatest demand ever.
