Heli Niugini Limited

Heli Niugini Limited is a helicopter operator owned and incorporated in Papua New Guinea. Its registered address is at Madang Airport, and it also has an operations office in Port Moresby. The company traces its history to the early 1980s on Bougainville and says it has more than 40 years of experience. A group of shareholders bought a majority stake in 2007.

The company flies single-engine and twin-engine helicopters under both visual and instrument flight rules. Its listed work includes passenger and general charter, medevac and search and rescue, and support for oil, gas and mining exploration such as seismic surveys and rig moves. It also lists construction support, external sling work, heli-logging, survey flights, courier work and police and emergency support.

Job postings for the company mention Bell 407, BK117, H145 and Mil Mi-8 helicopters. The official website does not list fleet types on its homepage, so flyers should ask which aircraft are available for a trip.

The company works mainly across Papua New Guinea, where its knowledge of mountain terrain and changing weather is relevant. It also cites experience in Australia, Asia and the Pacific. Most of its work is utility and resources-sector flying rather than executive passenger travel.
