Servicing Antarctica

HELICOPTERSNZ first went to Antarctica in 1979.

We are the World's most experienced Antarctic Helicopter Operator. We have the experience to get there and do the job efficiently and safely. Whether it be by ship and/or air or any of Antarctica's stopping off points, New Zealand, South America, South Africa or Australia we can and have done it. Interested to see how, visit our gallery.

Our initial expedition was to provide two Hughes 500D helicopters on behalf of the Federal Republic of West Germany. The principal area of interest was North Victoria Land and the base of operations was the North Sea support vessel "Schepelsturm".

Our Company has been actively involved in Antarctica since this time and we have provided Helicopter support for both Government and Private Expeditions. To see our full Antarctica History simply click on the table below.
