Our Services
Our Premium Helicopter services
Fire Fighting
Summers are our busy season. We work closely with the British Columbia Wildfire Service and also work with Alberta and other agencies in Western Canada.
Our AStar and Bell 206 L3/LRs are all setup for water bucket support, Aerial PSD application and drip torching.
Along with our planned out pre-ventative maintenance program we strive to have no down days to maintenance while at peak fire season so we’re ready to go at a moments notice.
For 2023 our machines were fighting major campaign fires in Fort St John, Osoyoos, Peachland, West Kelowna, Oliver and Penticton.
Argriculture / Farming
Based in Central Okanagan we are surrounded by Cherry Orchards and Wineries. We have a long standing relationship with famers in the area, when the weather changes you’ll see our helicopters cherry drying and providing frost protection to our local farmers.
Tours & VIP Transport
Our helicopters can take you to new heights around the Okanagan area. Whether you’re interested in wine tours, sightseeing tours, mountaintop engagements, weddings or simply arriving at the Sparkling Hills Resort in style, our pilots will take you wherever your heart desires. Our helicopters run at competitive rates, and we’re willing to discuss options for you and your loved ones.
Heli Ski Lodge Transfers
Are you planning on heli-skiing in the mountains of western Canada? Why drive when you can fly?
Conveniently located at Kelowna International Airport (CYLW) and within reasonable flying distance from all major heli-ski operators on the western side of the Selkirk, Monashee, and Purcell mountain ranges, we work closely with ski operators in the area. Let us pick you up from the airport or your airport hotel, load your luggage, and fly you directly to your heli-ski lodge accommodation.
Our experienced mountain pilots will safely transport you to your destination so that you can have a pleasant experience on the way.
Search & Rescue
We work closely with the Central Okanagan Search and Rescue teams, providing 24/7 year-round support for COSAR and the RCMP. Our helicopters are equipped for patient support, and our aviation-approved stretcher kits make patients “right for flight,” which means a faster process for transporting a patient from the incident site to a treatment facility. This year marks our 10th anniversary providing search and rescue services.
Tours
Tours are available on request. Call today to discuss options for every budget
How many people can I take?
Our AStar helicopter can fit five guests comfortably and our Bell 206 L3/LR can fit up to 6 guests. The longer the flying distance, the more fuel is required, which may mean fewer seats are available.
How many helicopters?
We own and operate 4 helicopters in total.
1x AStar B2 Helicopter, 1x Bell 206 L3 and 2x Bell 206 Longrangers.
