Hevilift - (Australia) advert for Bell 407 for Nth Australia

[Kagamuga]

Adverts are starting to appear for a Chief Pilot Bell 407 Ops in Nth Australia.
I remember many moons ago Hevilift PNG did pick up on or buy a Aussie Helicopter AOC.

In the 90s they had an Oz AOC and an Oz CP. I did some flying here for them on the 212, but when they used the Kamov to put the Olympic statues on top of Centrepoint Tower, it was under the PNG AOC with a P2 Kamov and a P2-licenced pilot.

Rumour is that they are operating their P2 registered ATRs domestically within Australia, P2-KSJ was heard operating around North Queensland today.

Flight Radar reveals where it went.

The P2-KSJ has been operating in AUS for a month now. Under the new title of Hevilift Express.
The P2, I don't really think matters; its all about their AOC exposition.
It's just a registration. Aus crews flying the machine.

North Qld heli ops pretty saturated already .. what are they going to do? New contracts or teaming up with existing operator?

I thought Hevilift was just another operating name for the Malaysian owned outfit that has a long running thread on the other page about transitioning to ATRs and starting domestic jet ops?

I think you have your operators mixed up!

[packapoo]

Maybe.
I know when I dealt with Hevilift in Moresby that they were allied with that Australian operation.
