New Zealand Aerial Survey

In late 2015 it was announced that Thomson Airborne had been commissioned on behalf of New Zealand Petroleum & Minerals to conduct an extensive aerial survey of the south island of New Zealand.

This survey included the use of both helicopters and fixed wing aircraft and was conducted in stages, with data collection commencing in 2016. 2020 saw the completion of this major survey.
