Advanced Flight Limited

Advanced Flight is a helicopter charter and management company based at Auckland Heliport in Onehunga, New Zealand. Since 1998 it has provided first class aviation services to private helicopter owners and charter guests.

The charter service tours New Zealand, with a focus on exclusive retreats, superyachts and golf courses. The company says its helicopters are individually customised for passenger comfort and safety.

The fleet includes Airbus H130 helicopters with six passengers and a pilot, Bell 429 twin engine helicopters with seven passengers and a pilot, and Airbus H145 twin engine helicopters with nine passengers and a pilot. A Guimbal Cabri G2 is used for training.

Heli management covers engineering and maintenance 365 days a year, heliport operation, and full service arrangements for superyacht owners. The website describes the heliport as award winning.

The company houses and maintains the Auckland based helicopters for NZ Police. It also supports Rocket Lab with the mid air recovery of booster rockets.

Special operations include human sling, external load, firefighting, aerial survey and photography, superyacht work and police operations.

Advanced Flight also runs a flight school at the heliport. The website says the company was the first in New Zealand to operate the EC130 and the twin engine Bell 429.
