Which countries have the best opportunities for chopper pilots?

[AMM]

Hi,

 

I'm a British CPL(H), with a New Zealand licence and a pretty rounded background in business and training. I'm on the look out for opportunities outside NZ after I finish up my initial training. That could be piloting or more likely helping out with business/crewing part of a heli operation, as a start.

 

Does anyone have a view on where they think the 'growth markets' are for helicopter pilots are?

 

I suppose this could include:

- Which countries have a rising demand for chopper pilots?

- Where are there shortages of pilots or crew?

- What countries are most 'welcoming' to ex-pat pilots?

 

Don't think there are necessarily any right or wrong answers, but really interested to hear about people's experiences across different regions. All ideas gratefully received!

 

Thx.
