NEWS || We’re sending a number of our assets and personnel to assist in the emergency response following the eruption on White Island. We’ll be working under the direction of New Zealand Police but we’ve sent a number of assets to the area to help as needed.

One of our Royal New Zealand Air Force Orion aircraft has flown over White Island carrying out surveillance over the area, and two NH90 helicopters have flown to Whakatane to assist. Our Royal New Zealand Navy ship HMNZS Wellington is currently transiting from Auckland to Whakatane to offer support.
