Commercial helicopter operator based at Carp, Ontario, with bases across Canada
Helicopter Transport Services (Canada) Inc., known as HTSC, is a commercial helicopter operator headquartered at 5 Huisson Road in Carp, Ontario, near Ottawa. It also lists offices in Trois-Rivieres (trading as Heli-Transport), La Ronge in Saskatchewan, Buttonville Airport in Markham, and Moosonee. Its US head office is in Aurora, Oregon.
Most of its work is industrial and government flying rather than private passenger travel. Listed missions include forestry and mining support, aerial firefighting, aerial construction and heavy lift, petroleum industry support, electronic news gathering, film work, defence and security, and air ambulance (EMS). Executive transport is also offered, which is the service most relevant to private flyers.
The fleet covers light, intermediate, medium and heavy helicopters. Types named on its site include the Bell 206 JetRanger, the UH-60 Black Hawk and the Sikorsky CH-54 Skycrane. HTSC also does depot-level maintenance and component overhaul at sites in Canada and the US.
The site shows BARS Gold and SafeContractor logos but gives no detail on them. A 2024 federal job posting for Carp-based pilots lists firefighting, forestry, powerline construction and heavy-lift work, and says pilots may be sent to other provinces.
