Coast to Coast Helicopters Tasman Limited

CTC Helicopters Tasman is a small, owner-operated company run by Patrick and Annette Amberger from a base in Motueka, at the top of the South Island. They fly a single Bell 206 JetRanger carrying four passengers or a 480 kg payload.

The focus is agricultural and environmental work across the Tasman region — wilding pine control, orchard spraying, fertiliser application, heavy lifting and frost control. They hold DOC concessions for Kahurangi National Park and the Richmond Ranges, and use Patrick's farming, forestry and hunting background to offer hunting, fishing and scenic tours into the surrounding back country.
