Aerial expertise


Aerowork is the largest aerial fertiliser applicator in New Zealand. Our fixed-wing aircraft operate across much of the North Island and South Island. With a proud history stretching back over 60 years, we are the most experienced aerial spreaders in New Zealand.

IntelliSpread® Plus prescription application


Aerowork is driving innovation in aerial spreading. Using our advanced automated GPS-guided application system, IntelliSpread Plus works at unparalleled speed to put fertiliser where you want it on your farm and avoid unproductive and environmentally sensitive areas. The accuracy of this new technological development is unparalleled in the market and unique to Ravensdown Aerowork.

Is your airstrip ‘ship-shape?’


Ensuring your airstrip is fit for purpose means you get your nutrients on efficiently and at the right time. Take a look at our farm airstrip guide to help you maximise safety and minimise risk to your aerial applicators and transport operators. The better your airstrip facilities, the less likely you are to be affected by weather, and other potential issues such as access for transportation.
