Commercial Work

HELIWORKS undertake all aspects of industrial and commercial helicopter work. Our helicopters are capable of lifting up to 1000 kgs, all with electric remote hook and ground-to-air radios.

We use remote-controlled electric down-lines, which offer a safer operation and quicker turnaround.

All pilots employed have thousands of hours experience flying in mountainous terrain and alpine weather conditions.

We are NVG capable for Medical evacuations and Search and Rescue. Currently we are the only Queenstown based company that can offer this.
