ZK-HBB – Airbus H125

ZK-HBB is one of the newest additions to our Queenstown-based fleet, and it’s already earning a solid reputation. This AS350 B3 is a versatile, high-performing machine that gets straight to work — no matter the terrain, task, or conditions.

With its bold colours standing out among our otherwise neutral-toned helicopters, HBB is easy to spot in the sky. You’ll often see it flying across the Wakatipu Basin, Central Otago, or deeper into the backcountry — wherever the job calls.

It’s a go-to for a wide range of commercial helicopter operations. From heavy lifting and long-lining to farming support, aerial construction, and conservation work, HBB handles it all with precision and efficiency. Its power-to-weight ratio and agility make it ideal for tight landings and tricky alpine jobs.

This machine doesn’t sit still for long. It’s built to be busy and thrives on variety — one moment shifting loads into a remote valley, the next flying out to assist with backcountry fencing or pest control.

Reliable, capable, and ready for action — HBB is a proper workhorse in our fleet, and you’ll likely spot it hard at work somewhere across the region.
