HelicoptersNZ to Use SkyTrac Satcom and Flight Following
New Zealand's HelicoptersNZ has selected SkyTrac's satellite communication and flight
following system to help manage its fleet of 39 helicopters that operate in
remote offshore areas to support the oil industry.
HelicoptersNZ, which is New Zealand's largest helicopter company, operates Bell 212s, 412s and 206B
JetRanger IIIs, a number of Eurocopter AS350 Squirrels, and an AustaWestland
139. Since the aircraft are often flying beyond the range of VHF ground
stations, HelicoptersNZ wanted SkyTrac's Iridium-based satcom and
flight following to ensure their position is always known, and
voice and
text communication links are always available. 04-17-2008. |
