Sponsorship and our fundraising campaigns allow the Taranaki Air Ambulance Trust to provide the facilities, equipment and support needed for an effective Air Ambulance Service for the Taranaki region.
We are grateful for the long-term support from OMV, who have been financial sponsors since 2012.
Our most recent funder is NPDC, with the most welcome support in the past from Toi Foundation and TET.
Egmont Honey are supporting us by providing an opportunity for us to raise funds from open days at their facilities. Check out our events page for more details about the next tour.

Our Major Sponsor
OMV New Zealand is a hydrocarbon producer and a major explorer in the search for new oil and gas reserves offshore in New Zealand.
The company began operating in New Zealand after acquiring a 30% share in the Maari oil field following the purchase of Cultus Petroleum in 1999. It has since expanded into a range of other assets through subsequent acquisitions. These include shares in the Maui and Pohokura gas fields. OMV is a subsidiary of OMV EP, which is part of the OMV group, one of Austria’s largest listed industrial companies.
Being socially responsible is a key part of OMV’s approach to sustainability. OMV New Zealand actively supports the communities where we operate.
OMV New Zealand first entered into a sponsorship agreement with the Taranaki Air Ambulance Trust in 2012 for a period of three years to assist with the purchase of specialist equipment and overall operating costs. This sponsorship was further renewed in 2015, and again in 2018 with the vision of helping fund the purchase of a new aircraft. OMV NZ has been committed to helping the trust realise its vision of ensuring the air ambulance service remains based in Taranaki for the people of Taranaki.
