I've read the rumour and seen the Ad's.

Can anyone confirm HA has the contract ?

And if so does anyone know which aircraft they will be operating.

Cheers and beers

haven't see any ads, but it's Helicopters (Australia) that has the Gove Customs contract from all accounts. Interim acft supposed to be BK 117 awaiting an EC - 145. Pilots and Engineers required.
Ready to stand corrected if my info is wrong.

The ad's I refer to where on the AFAP site week before last.

HA was advertising for touring positions, they also advertised a few months ago.

I am told that ZK-HHV, the former Westpac Rescue Machine in Auckland, is being sent up to fill this contract until such time as the EC-145 arrives.

Thanks,

Is the Auckland machine single pilot IFR. Any info if the 145 will be SPIFR ?
