If you are a New Zealand national, you must have an overseas launch licence to launch a launch vehicle from outside New Zealand. This includes launching from a facility in another country or from a vehicle in the air that was launched from outside New Zealand. You need this licence to do this, or you are not allowed to launch the vehicle.
