Tourism

Tourism is significant to Precision Helicopters. It is an industry sector we are proud to be involved with.

SCENIC FLIGHTS

From our bases in Southland, the West Coast, Marlborough and Taranaki, we provide superb scenic flights over most areas of our country’s natural beauty.

Although we offer several specific tours, we can easily provide a flight tailored to your requirements. All PHL pilots have good local knowledge and will be able to assist in choosing the best flight to fit your time, plans and budget.

All our helicopters have forward facing seats and every passenger can see through the front.

In many cases, we can hover or land to allow our passengers to take in the breath-taking sights. Windows can also be opened for the photo enthusiast to capture amazing unobstructed shots from the air.

Booking a flight:
Booking is no problem – simply call 0800 2 GO FLY (0800 246359) and you will be connected to the nearest PHL Base to your location. (Contact us)

Weather:
Although we can fly in most conditions, the weather has to be good to get the most out of your experience. Should the weather turn poor, we can simply move your flight to a later time or date.

Costs:
Costs vary depending upon the type of helicopter being used. We have helicopters that can accommodate from three to six passengers, plus the pilot. Each helicopter is charged at an hourly rate (or part of). This rate can be divided between the number of passengers the helicopter can carry. We typically only charge for “rotors in motion” time.

Safety:
Before boarding your flight, you will be given a comprehensive safety briefing. If you have any concerns, please discuss these with your Pilot who will assist in any way possible.

Safety is paramount to PHL. To date, we have accumulated over 8000 incident free flight hours. We operate under a CAA audited exposition.

All PHL helicopters are safe, modern and reliable and maintained by two external accredited maintenance providers.

PHL Pilots are all highly experienced. You will be flying in very safe hands! Besides passenger air transport, each pilot is also involved with our industrial and agricultural helicopter based services.
