Samoa 2025

Heliventures completed a rat eradication project on the Island Nu’utele just off the Samoan mainland of Upolou in August 2025 for an international island conservation project.

This project involved the shipping of one of our McDonnell Douglas 520N Notar helicopters and associated baiting equipment in a container to Samoa. A team of three from Heliventures base in Oamaru, along with an engineer from Mt Hutt Aviation flew to Samoa to receive the container from the Port and unpack the container. The helicopter was reassembled and went straight to work in the Samoan sun!

Each of the three applications went very smoothly and the operation was completed on time with great efficiency and no delays. We had fantastic support from numerous local landowners, government agencies, funding agencies and also the clients who were great to work with. It was a dream project to be involved with and we look forward to completing further international work of this kind in the future.
