Coast to Coast Helicopters was founded in 1997. In 2013, Alister and Sarah Twisleton bought the business and opened a base in Marlborough to extend our reach in the community. Sarah and Alister have had a long association with aviation, both learning to fly in their teens and completing their commercial pilot licenses in 1990 after meeting at the Nelson Aviation College. Sarah in fixed wing and Alister as a helicopter pilot. Alister has held senior positions in several companies over the years and is experienced flying B3, MD 500, EC 120, and Robinson aircrafts. He also holds a Category D and E instructor rating.

Alister and Sarah have combined their extensive knowledge of aviation into the well established company of Coast to Coast to provide a competitive and professional service for our customers. Our Motueka based pilot, Willie King, grew up in the area and has a vast knowledge of the district.

Coast to Coast Helicopter’s two bases service the top of the South Island. One in Motueka, covering Nelson,Golden Bay and the stunning Abel Tasman regions, and another based in Picton, Gateway to the Marlborough Sounds, which also encompasses the Wairau and Waihopai Valleys and Kaikoura Mountains. Each team regularly supports the other, transferring resources between the different locations as required.
