Hey Guys.
Anyone got an info/goss on this outfit in PNG?
Good, bad and the ugly requested.
I understand they run fixed wing and rotary wing ops.
Many thanks,
Steve

I might be wrong but...the fixed wing side has been on the decline...there was a photo on the front page of the Post Courier about 2 (?) months ago of their last 3 Bandits being prepared for shipping to South America somewhere. The article also said that they were concentrating on the rotary wing side.
Don't know if they still have the Baron and Twotter.
There used to be legendary parties at the compound in Boroko.

...No more fixed wing, finished some time ago. Choppers only.
There are a number of professional operators of choppers in PNG. They are, in no particular order,
Pacific Helicoptors
Hevilift
Heli Nuigini

It's Nationair - not Nationalair. Perhaps you need to do a little home work?
Has Hevilift changed owners or is it still C&L/JS&S? I see their Braz is long since gone.

Hevilift has been taken over by RegionalAir but is operating under the name Hevilift. The Braz is operated by the Australian division, Regional Pacific Airlines.

Yep, I believe it's around 6 Jetrangers 4 212's and 2 Mil 18's
S76,
IMHO if you're after challenging flying in well maintained aircraft then Hevilift are the cream of the crop. They're an expanding company with excellent maintenance, check & training, team environment and 4 week rotational tours.

Thanks Psycho Joe.
I have all the challenging flying I need up here and was really just after a south pac job. These guys are offering and Hevilift and HeliN are not hiring.
My understanding is that JB and KF and the other longtimers left HL due to the management and disharmony. That makes HN the best company apparently...
Who knows? I guess if there is nothing bad said around here that they must be half reasonable.
Thanks very much for all the info lads.
