The Taranaki Rescue Helicopter Trust Board
New Plymouth · Hangar Complex, Taranaki Base Hospital, David Street, New Plymouth
The Taranaki Rescue Helicopter Trust operates the emergency rescue helicopter service for the Taranaki region from a hangar complex at Taranaki Base Hospital in New Plymouth. The trust is a community-funded, donation-supported organisation rather than a commercial charter operator.
Its work is dedicated to emergency response — medical rescues, inter-hospital patient transfers, and search-and-rescue tasking across Taranaki and surrounding regions. The service is not available for hunting drop-offs, scenic flights or private charter.
