The answer is Yes. New Zealand is not one of the countries exempted from the visa. Sharm is part of Egypt so even if u r taking a charter flight, u still need a visa. You can get it in the airport for U.S$15 in a few minutes, or you can simply get it via the Egyptian embassy if u want to save a few minutes.

You don't have to buy a visa if you plan to stay in the Sharm area only and are not staying longer than 14 days. This will restrict you as you won't be able to leave the area and will not be able to visit the pyramids if you plan to and some boat trips. Also if you don't buy a visa and change your mind once you have left the airport you won't be able to buy a visa. If you do buy a visa then it is better to pay in the currency of your country it's about £10(English) $15 (dollars) per person and this allows you to leave Sharm and visit other parts of Egypt and also won't restrict you on other trips. The visa lasts for 6 months but once you leave the country the visa ends so if you choose to come back even in the 6 months you will have to buy a new visa. So it's upto you. If you are sure you are not going to change your mind and know that it will restrict you on some trips then don't buy the visa but if you think you might change your mind about trips and want to make sure you can go on every trip without a problem even boat trips around the shore of Sharm then buy a visa. If you do choose to buy a visa it's easier to buy it when you arrive at the airport. Hope this information helps.
