Re: Helipro Fiji
Hahahaha, 3 109s in Fiji, good one!!! I wouldn't believe a word GH or anyone associated with him has to say.. Last I heard he was getting into bed with Albert Bertini.. Sounds like a match made in heaven..

Yep, read this whole thread in its entirety again and then google 'Graeme's' full name. Will give you an insight into what sort of character this guy is.

This bloke Graeme is about as straight as a hairpin. If he swallowed a nail, it would reappear as a cork screw.

Re: Helipro Fiji
Hi yeppa,
Looks like a similar story to what I was suspecting...seems like a lot of talk over nothing concrete!!
Anyone have any further updates on their 'plan'?
Cheers

Re: Helipro Fiji
Hi guys,
I'm absolutely new here and wouldn't be here - but I've started to do a research for "HeliPro + Fiji"... and as a result I'm here.
I'm planning to go to Fiji in 2017 and looking for helicopter transfer and some things to be organized at Ringgold Islands.
As such, I'm doing a lot of Google search. One of results returned is Helipro Fiji service.
I've sent a request to them (like to few others) and suddenly, after 15-20 minutes (on Good Friday !) I've got a phone call to my mobile from someone named "Michael" (Barbieri ?) regarding HeliPro Fiji service and some more info has been requested regarding my plans.
The call was from Australian mobile number. I've traced it back - the number is registered on internet by Worldsales Australia, Melbourne, VIC and Personnel Soluitons Frankston South, VIC.
For me - looks like another scam/phishing.
As such - may I ask you guys as industry experts, to recommend me any reliable helicopter company there ? Preferably Suvasuva....

Stay well away from anything with that name mate, as others have said use Island hoppers. You will be promised what ever you ask for and then none of it will happen.

Re: Helipro Fiji
I've been out of Fiji for a while now but does Helipro Fiji even have an aircraft to operate at the moment?

Yes their senior pilot resigned and they employed another European pilot, who did not do a background check !

Re: Helipro Fiji
My husband has been working on and off over a few years for
Helipro Fiji, he would leave and they would manage to convince him to come back.
This year he went back just as covid was starting was fine to begin with he was fly in fly out but ended up getting stuck in Fiji and as the company had very little to no work they stopped paying all staff, so not only was he stuck in Fiji but he had no way to earn a living.
We finally managed to get him home we had to pay for his flights which wasn’t in the agreement but we just had to get him home, Graeme kept assuring him he would be back paid all monies owed even though he was stuck there for 4 months and has now been home around 4 months no attempt has been made to pay him whats owed Graeme continued to email him asking him to come back but when he kept being asked for monies owed he eventually gave up and now hasn’t contacted him in a month or so.
Be warned
