About Zenair
Zenair was founded by Chris Heintz in Canada in 1974. From the start, Zenair offered drawings and kits to self-building enthusiasts who were keen on assembling their own recreational aircraft. As CEO and chief engineer, Chris introduced a new aircraft design every few years while Zenair manufactured the airframe kits for it. Spanning 35 years, Zenair produced kits for single-seat aircraft, two, three and four-seat aircraft, low-wing and high-wing designs, ultralights, and most recently, certified VLA and LSA aircraft. The company also developped a full line of straight and amphibious all-metal floats for light aircraft of all kinds.
Zenair is now one of the most experienced and well-established light aircraft manufacturers in the world, with many kits now also produced in the USA by Zenith Aircraft Company. In Europe, you can call any one of our 20 representatives to take advantage of Zenair's unmatched expertise and experience! See why so many have already chosen a "Zenair".

Today, Zenair is continuing this proud tradition of light aircraft design and manufacturing. There are a number of facilities around the world that manufacture Zenair kits under license, and a growing interest in ready-to-fly Zenair sportplanes. New facilities are now being developed in Europe to meet the demand here. In close collaboration with its European network of representatives, Zenair is well positioned to continue growing in the direction envisioned by its founder extra-ordinaire.
