Graham Helicopters

Graham Helicopters Limited is a helicopter operator with its main base in Kelowna, British Columbia. The company says it has been family-owned and operated since 1996, and its website names John as leading the team. It also keeps bases at Campbell River on Vancouver Island and at Peace River in Alberta.

Most of its flying is commercial utility work. This includes wildfire support for the BC and Alberta wildfire services, moving logging crews and equipment on the coast, agricultural work such as drying cherries and frost protection, and search and rescue support alongside local SAR groups and the RCMP.

For passengers, the company offers VIP transport, helicopter tours around Kelowna, flights to Sparkling Hills Resort and transfers to ski lodges near Revelstoke, Nakusp and Nelson.

Its website lists four helicopters, including an AStar B2, a Bell 206L3 and a Bell 206 LongRanger, and says its pilots have more than 80 years of flying experience between them. The site shows an ISNetworld membership logo but does not give operating certificate details. For private flyers, it is a small regional helicopter operator suited to short transfers and access to remote lodges in the BC interior.
