Over the past couple of years operators here have been upgrading their fleets.
Auckland / Northland went to AW169s which are slowly replacing the BKs and S76s but they found some corrosion issues which have kept them grounded for long time.
SRSL have been replacing their BKs with H145D3s - so far in the last 12 months think they have added 4 maybe 5 and two more just arrived with more coming.
HeliOtago - Graeme led the way with new H145D3s and has 3 at the moment with more coming.
GCH in CHCH is replacing their fleet with ex Rega H145D2s.
Its great to see the modernization of the fleets here - but the sad thing is the long pockets - short arms brigade in Wellington ensure the operators are NOWHERE near getting the funding they need to cover the costs - therefore have to go out and do a LOT of fund raising.
