Manitoba helicopter operator for air ambulance, utility and charter work across Canada
Custom Helicopters Ltd. is a Canadian helicopter operator founded in 1977. Its website lists a head office in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and a mailing address at St. Andrews Airport, just north of the city. The company says it has operational bases throughout Canada, and the website mentions locations in British Columbia, Labrador and Newfoundland.
Most of its work is specialised flying rather than passenger charter. It flies air ambulance missions with paramedics, flight nurses and respiratory therapists on board, using aircraft that include the Sikorsky S-76 and the AgustaWestland AW139. It also does utility and power-line work, mineral exploration support, heavy lift, wildfire suppression, and search and rescue support using night vision goggles.
The company says its fleet has grown to more than 30 helicopters. In Labrador, it operates under the Air Borealis name. Its website displays the Basic Aviation Risk Standard (BARS) Gold logo. BARS is an audit programme used mainly by the resources industry.
Directory sources also list corporate charter among its services. Anyone looking for passenger helicopter transport in Manitoba or other regions it serves should contact the company to check charter availability and which aircraft would be used.
