From the migration of our native Kuaka, to celebrating the growing diversity within the aviation and space industries, Te Kōtiu (meaning to swoop) showcases key moments in aviation in Aotearoa with stunning immersive digital projection throughout the Aviation Hall.

Listen to inspiring messages from female trailblazers such as Air New Zealand pilots and aerospace start-up engineers.
Te Kōtiu conveys the motion of swooping, like the flight of a kite or glider and is the name of a North-West wind direction.
