Disaster Relief
Service Overview
Helicopters have become an indispensable aid for dealing
with disasters. They particularly come into their own during
the initial stages after the disaster has taken place.
Due to our geographic location and past experience, we are
uniquely suited to quickly and efficiently respond to any
natural or man-made disasters. This was particularly evident
in the aftermath of Tropical Cyclone Debbie, which left
extensive damage to property and services infrastructure.
60,000 residents were left without power.
Less than 24 hours after the cyclone crossed the coastline,
Meridian Helicopters were on the ground, patrolling the
damaged network and conducting precision lifting and
stringing works to return power to the communities affected.
