New Zealand Institute for Earth Science Limited

Lower Hutt · Lower Hutt, New Zealand

Earth Sciences New Zealand (formerly GNS Science) is a Crown research organisation based in Lower Hutt that recently merged with NIWA. The institute conducts earth sciences research across natural hazards, climate, energy and geoscience.

The organisation is a research body rather than a commercial aviation operator. It does not advertise scenic flights, charter or other public helicopter services on its website. Any helicopter activity is in support of internal scientific fieldwork, sampling and data collection rather than as a service offered to the public.
