Gemini Heli Ltd

Gemini Heli Ltd is a commercial helicopter company based in Grande Prairie, Alberta, with its main office on 123 Street. Independent aviation records list the business as Gemini Helicopters, established in 1996. The company's own site says it has been serving western Canada for more than 25 years.

The company flies its own helicopters. It does not act as a broker. Its work is mostly industrial and utility flying: crew transport and site access for oil and gas, support for forestry and mining, external sling loads, power-line work, environmental and wildfire support, search and rescue, and medevac. It also takes private and business charters, private transfers and aerial filming flights.

For leisure flyers, Gemini Heli runs scenic tours from Grande Prairie. Routes cover the Smoky River, the Peace Region, the Grande Cache area near the Rockies, and nearby wilderness. One package combines a flight with a stop at a local orchard and a landing at a waterfall. Tours are listed at roughly 35 to 50 minutes for one to four guests.

The published fleet includes two twin-engine Eurocopter EC135 P2 helicopters that seat up to six passengers. It also includes the single-engine Airbus AS350 Astar FX2 and AS350 Astar SD2, each seating up to five. The company says its EC135 pilots train in Class D simulators and take annual proficiency checks with Transport Canada.

Gemini Heli mainly serves northwest Alberta and northeast British Columbia. Flyers who need a helicopter in the Peace Region, for remote sites or for short scenic flights can contact the company directly for a quote.
