Private Pilot Licence

A Private Pilot Licence (or PPL) allows the holder to fly to any destination within New Zealand, and carry passengers
The holder can also own and operate an aircraft as long as the aircraft has regular maintenance by an appropriately qualified aircraft engineer.

However, a PPL holder cannot charge passengers for their services.

Commercial Pilot Licence

A Commercial Pilot Licence (or CPL) has the same privileges as a PPL, but allows the holder to operate an aircraft for the purpose of hire or reward. 
Meaning the holder can fly commercially for an organisation that operates under the Civil Aviation Authority (or CAA).
