“ I have been exceptionally happy with the service provided by NT Heli-Ops. We have undertaken work in some very remote areas of Central Australia, the professional approach to operational planning and attention to safety protocols are why we will continue to use them where possible. ”

" We have worked very closely with Doug and the crew at NT Heli-Ops for over 3 years now, helping Doug to build a culture of connectedness and inclusion across his organisation by ensuring his team and their family members have access to professional and personal development. This allows greater communication across the team. Doug had an incredibly special vision and we are seeing it develop for him and the team. Everything they do is about integrity, authenticity and caring for their clients and the community in which they live and operate. The growth in the team at NT Heli-Ops speaks to the calibre of the people in this organisation. "
