Aberdeen Helicopters Ltd

Aberdeen Helicopters Ltd is a Métis-owned helicopter company in northern British Columbia. Its head office is in Smithers, and job postings also place the company in Prince George. The company says it has been flying in Northern BC for about 20 years.

Most of its work is industrial and commercial. The website lists drill support for mining exploration, aerial construction, geophysical survey, forestry and firefighting, search and rescue support, filming and heli-skiing. It also flies photographers and backcountry users, and serves the oil, gas and tourism sectors.

The website lists a turbine Bell 206B JetRanger and an Airbus Helicopters AS350 B2, and job postings also mention Bell 206 and AS350 types. These are light single-engine helicopters suited to small groups and remote landing sites, not long-distance passenger travel.

The company says it selects pilots for each job based on their skills and experience. Flyers looking for a passenger helicopter charter in the Smithers or Prince George area should contact the company directly to confirm availability, since its public material focuses on utility and aerial work.
