Pacific Helicopters

This year, we levelled up our fleet with seven cutting-edge aircraft – five Airbus H125s and two five bladed Airbus H145s, one of which we proudly operate on behalf of Santos. Here’s how these powerful new additions are making an impact: both Airbus H145s are on the ground for Santos, supporting vital onshore and offshore projects across Papua New Guinea. Meanwhile, our H125s and BK117s are driving seismic operations in partnership with Kumul Petroleum Holdings Ltd and Oilmin as well as advancing Santos’ growth projects. In addition to these essential missions, our BK117 and Bell 212 helicopters are supporting Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency in locating and recovering personnel missing from past conflicts – a deeply meaningful initiative we’re honoured to be part of. #PacificHelicopters #PapuaNewGuinea #Pacificgoldstandard #PortMoresby

Next year, we proudly mark a significant milestone: 50 years of service to Papua New Guinea and the wider Asia Pacific region.   Our journey is one that has been defined by pioneering innovation, unshakeable resilience and delivering exceptional service to our valued clients, while continually striving to raise the bar within aviation and our community.   To kick off our golden anniversary celebrations, we’re excited to share a sneak peek of our specially designed 50th-anniversary logo.   This design pays tribute to our rich history through the past five decades while looking boldly toward a bright and exciting future.   Stay tuned for updates on how we’ll be marking this milestone.   #PacificHelicopters #50yearsstrong #Aviationexcellence #PapuaNewGuinea #Pacificgoldstandard

With rugged mountains, dense jungles, and scattered islands, aviation is crucial for accessing remote locations. For industries like mining, resource extraction, energy, and infrastructure, it ensures operations continue smoothly and efficiently. As the leading helicopter operator in the country, we are proud to support PNG’s connectivity, playing a key role in advancing these critical industries by ensuring every flight is both safe and essential.   #PacificHelicopters #PapuaNewGuinea #Pacificgoldstandard #InternationalCivilAviationDay

At Pacific Helicopters Limited, our mission goes beyond delivering aviation excellence – it’s about nurturing talent and creating opportunities for growth. Nigel Garry, our newly qualified maintenance engineer, is a shining example of this commitment. Growing up in Port Moresby, Nigel’s path led him from studying Applied Physics to specialised aviation training in the Philippines and finally to achieving his dream role with us. “Pacific is iconic for its high standards. It was always my goal to work here,” Nigel shares. Through mentorship from our experienced team, Nigel developed his skills, earned his license and is now on a mission to give back. His goal? To train and inspire future engineers, helping to strengthen Papua New Guinea’s aviation industry. "The team here molded me,” he says. “I was fortunate enough to be mentored and trained by senior engineers who developed my craftsmanship, attention to detail, and all the little things that make great engineers.” Congratulations, Nigel! We’re proud of your achievement and excited about your vision for the future.
