The versatility and experience of our helicopter pilots and staff is a huge asset. We pride ourselves on over 12 years' accident free flying hours within challenging alpine and rural terrain. Our rural backgrounds result in good hard work ethics, a family oriented environment and a great team.
Blair Chapman
Managing Director / Chief Pilot
Blair has become a very diverse and talented helicopter pilot by virtue of the environment that he operates in. He is an experienced agricultural pilot and has a passion for flying in a range of commercial roles. He is responsible for the general management of the company.
Russell Vickers
Pilot
Russell joined Mt Hutt Helicopters in March 2011. Not only is he a very experienced Ag pilot but in a previous life he was a heli engineer. So if he's not up in the air he's out back in the hangar fixing odds and ends.
Stuart Gorrie
Pilot
Stu is the Chief Pilot for our West Coast operations - Coastwide Helicopters. He has been flying for us since 2008 and has been involved in a wide range of helicopter charter from mine exploration and rig shifting to helping out the Department of conservation and Agricultural spraying.
James Cagney
Operations Manager
James joined the Mt Hutt team in 2011. He's the primary point of contact for anyone wishing to discuss any Agricultural or Commercial jobs with us on both the East and West Coast. James knows where everyone is at all times so if you need a helicopter ask him!
Jim Chapman
Quality Assurance and Load Master
Jim is Blair's Dad. Jim sold his farm and decided he would like to spend his newly acquired spare time chasing helicopters because he loves Blair telling him what to do... As Quality Assurance manager Jim insures all i's are dotted and t's crossed and that the business is operating smoothly and safely.
Scott Rodgers
Loadmaster
Scott enjoyed the summer season with Mt Hutt Helicopters getting to grips with all things Ag. If he is not sorting out the fertilisers you'll find him with his head buried in a book swatting up for his pilots licence.
Gemma Guild
Office Manager
Gemma has come on board to look after the ever important administration areas. She has recently joined the company and looking forward to getting involved in the marketing of Mt Hutt Helicopters
