North Coast Helicopters

North Coast Helicopters (also written Northcoast Helicopters) is a rotary-wing operator in northern British Columbia. Its website describes it as a full-service helicopter company focused on utility operations in western Canada, run by a small group of local staff. A company job posting gives its address as Pat Roy Road in Terrace, BC.

The company's work is industrial and project-based rather than passenger travel. Its website lists exploration, fire suppression, heli-skiing support, environmental work, project consulting, avalanche control and search and rescue. It also says its pilots have experience in coastal mountain flying and precision longline work. A 2021 job posting said most of its work was mining, firefighting and heli-skiing.

The same posting asked for pilots qualified on the Airbus AS350 B2 and SD2 (A-Star), which suggests the light single-engine A-Star is part of the fleet. The company's own fleet page could not be retrieved, so the size and mix of its fleet were not confirmed.

Besides Terrace, the website lists offices in Chilliwack, Hazelton, Kelowna and Dease Lake. Charter customers are typically resource, forestry and environmental companies that need helicopter support in remote parts of the province.
