Helicopter Training in New Zealand for UK and European Students
Astral Helicopters New Zealand welcomes students from the United Kingdom and the European Union for helicopter flight training.
You'll find many advantages in studying for your professional helicopter licence with Astral Helicopters.
The present exchange rates and reasonable cost of living make New Zealand one of the most affordable countries in which to fly helicopters.
Our changeable weather conditions yet temperate climate mean you will be comfortable and competent in flying in a variety of different weather as your skills progress. Our helicopter training area of Rotorua enjoys around 330 flyable days each year, a pleasant change for the UK and you will have plenty of time to enjoy the local attractions.
Astral Helicopters can arrange your 12 month student visa, which also allows you to take part time work of up to 20 hours each week if you wish.
You'll enjoy exploring a variety of terrain within a short distance. Our flight training areas include forests, bush, lakes, mountains and coastline and we're located around 2 hours drive from the ski fields and just 40 minutes drive from the surf beaches.
As a UK or EU passport holder you will be eligible to work in the ever expanding North Sea oil field offshore helicopter support industry. Astral Helicopters senior instructors are highly experienced offshore oil support captains, and we can tailor your training programme specifically toward the oil support pilot role if you wish.
We drive on the left hand side of the road, all speak English, and share a very similar culture to your own so your transition here is easy. New Zealand currently has fantastic investment opportunities so you will be in a prime position to explore these possibilities during your time with Astral.
