Heliview Flights Central Otago are Qualmark endorsed and were the first New Zealand helicopter company to hold a Qualmark Enviro-Silver award, ensuring that they run a sustainable business and maintain top quality procedures and facilities for their customers. Richard Foale, your chief pilot, is the CEO of Heliview Flights Central Otago and has over 30 years of helicopter flying experience, so you are in safe hands. Richard's flying career officially started when he was commissioned into the British Army Air Corps, but his love for aviation was nurtured at an early age while flying with his father in Africa. He has since worked in many aviation roles, including police, air ambulance, aerial filming, VIP charter and tourism. Jolanda Foale has a BSc in International Tourism and Hospitality Management from GIHE in Switzerland and focuses on customer service and administrative duties. Our enthusiasm and passion is proving to be a winning combination in providing a personalised flight experience. Their daughter Safi (7) has very much grown up with the business. She loves to welcome guests onto the premises, makes sure that everyone has a set of ear muffs and plays with visiting children on our giant Snakes and Ladders table.
