Expedition Helicopters
Fleet
Your operation becomes our operation.
The Expedition Helicopters fleet of 12 aircrafts utilizes a variety of aircraft designed both for small or large projects.
All aircraft are equipped with portable satellite phones and each has a proven track record for excellence in safety and performance. If we don't have an available aircraft ready to meet your requirements we will make arrangements to obtain one.
All aircraft are equipped for winter operation with cold weather pre-heat and internal systems designed to keep optimal aircraft performance and your cargo warm in frigid winter conditions.
