Some helicopters at Ardmore

Amongst all the activity at Ardmore today were a number of interesting helicopters including the Hughes 369D ZK-HAW4 which was imported in late 2023 from South Korea by International Heliproperties NZ for refurbishment and resale.

Outside Airbus NZ was the Aston Martin luxury ACH130 ZK-HEA7 which was registered to Advanced Flight Ltd, Auckland in January 2024.


Currently being used by the Northern Helicopter Rescue Service is the former Wellington based Lifeflight BK117B-2 ZK-HLF2.   It is being used while the AW169s are undergoing maintenance and was originally imported from Japan way back in August 2003.


And receiving attention at Heliflite was the North Shore based R44 Raven II ZK-ITS3 which was reregistered from ZK-IWP in June 2025.   It is registered to Core Aviation Operations.
