OUR HELICOPTER FLEET

Helisika Helicopters operates a fleet of Squirrel Helicopters, which are one of the most commonly used helicopters in New Zealand and the world, and this is because they are one of the most versatile aircraft on the market.

Originally designed and manufactured by Eurocopter as the as350 (a-star), the squirrel helicopters are now manufactured by Airbus now with the name h125.

Our Commercial Operation Helicopters are fitted with specialist equipment that allows us to lift heavy loads including construction material, timber, concrete and metal. Helicopter lifting is a great option if you’re working on hard to access or remote locations
