Oliver McArthur
Head of Safety, Risk and Compliance
With more than two decades of Aviation experience under his belt, accomplished Airline Pilot Ollie McArthur holds the Senior Corporate Safety and Culture Portfolio for the VertiLink Group.
Born and raised in the greater Auckland area, Ollie spent his earlier flying years ‘cutting his teeth’ throughout the Pacific Islands, having spent a considerable amount of time in both the Vanuatu and Solomon Island archipelago’s. After accumulating significant experience on Twin Otter, ATR and Boeing 737 aircraft throughout the Pacific, Ollie returned to New Zealand and eventually home to Auckland, where he is now a Senior Captain on the Airbus A320 for Jetstar Airways.
Ollie holds an impressive amount of experience as both a manned and unmanned aircraft pilot and Flight Instructor. Additionally, he maintains a key role as the Civil Aviation Authority approved Senior Person for an Auckland based Part 102 Unmanned Aircraft Operator.
Ollie’s primary focus is to ensure the safe conduct of all VertiLink operations. In this senior role, he acts as the point of liaison between the organisation and the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand for all matters of a regulatory nature.
The VertiLink Group could be in no better hands with Ollie’s diligent commitment to the safety and integrity of its operations and policies.
