Saving lives 24/7, 365 days of the year
Each year the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter responds to over 400 missions throughout Te Tauihu thanks to the operator, GCH Aviation and with funding support from the Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopter. With the base at Nelson Airport being surrounded by three National Parks, alpine peaks, numerous world class mountain bike tracks, a ski field within driving distance and the beautiful coastal waters which surround us, the rescue helicopter proves to be a vital community service.
