Custom Helicopters Ltd.

Custom Helicopters Ltd. is a Canadian helicopter operator founded in 1977. Its head office is at 706 South Gate Road in St. Andrews, Manitoba, near Winnipeg. The company also has operations in British Columbia and in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Air ambulance is a major part of its work. The company flies Sikorsky S-76C helicopters with medical interiors, staffed by paramedics, flight nurses and respiratory therapists, and runs a 24-hour medevac dispatch line. It also does telecommunications and power line work, mineral exploration support, heavy lift, and night vision operations for search and rescue, emergency response and firefighting.

Independent listings describe charter corporate transport and seismic support among its services, and the company appears as a helicopter charter supplier in Northwest Territories government tenders. The company website says the fleet is more than 30 helicopters, including Sikorsky S-76 and Leonardo AW139 types.

The website shows a Basic Aviation Risk Standard (BARS) Gold logo. Most of the company's flying is industrial, government and medical work, so private flyers should contact it directly about passenger charter availability, aircraft type and departure point for a trip.
