Our Helicopter Services
Commercial Services
From precision lifting to seismic surveying, moving drilling rigs to transporting international movie stars around the country, there isn't much PHL can't handle when it comes to commercial aerial missions.
Agricultural Services
You have a plough, drill, bailer and trailer. We have buckets, spray gear, long-lines and lifting strops. We think of our helicopters as flying tractors that do all the jobs your ground equipment can't.
Tourism Services
We show both locals and international tourists alike the natural beauty of our country, from the air. Wherever you want to go, whatever you'd like to see, we can take you there.
Our Team
The people are the lifeblood of PHL and are what make us so successful. Our team are passionate about delivering helicopter services to the agricultural and commercial sectors in a friendly, safe and efficient manner for maximum customer satisfaction.
PHL's 20-Year History
The PHL story began back in the late 90s with husband and wife duo, Matt and Tammy Newton. From a shed on a farm in Urenui, Taranaki, the Newtons started out leasing helicopters to carry out aerial contracting work. Growth quickly followed to the present day and PHL now employ over a dozen staff and run five helicopters across bases in New Plymouth, South Waikato and Hokitika.
Our Locations
At PHL, we provide agricultural and commercial helicopter services from our Piopio (South Waikato) and New Plymouth (Taranaki) bases. We also offer heli-tours from both these bases as well as our new Hokitika base located right next to the Hokitika Gorge with easy access to the Southern Alps and its popular mountainous and glacial attractions.
