Utility and charter helicopter operator based at Red Deer Regional Airport, Alberta
Heli Source Ltd. is a Canadian helicopter operator with its head office at Red Deer Regional Airport in Springbrook, Alberta. Its work is mainly for the oil and gas, electrical, forestry and mining industries in Western Canada and parts of the United States.
The company's website lists external load (long-line) work, personnel transport, remote field support, pipeline integrity patrols, aerial surveillance, forestry and tree-planting support, and charter flights.
According to the website, the fleet numbers 26 helicopters across four types: Bell 206 JetRanger, MD500, Airbus AS350 and the twin-engine EC135. The company says all of its aircraft carry GPS, VHF radio and flight-following equipment.
Besides Red Deer, the website lists bases at Grande Prairie, Whitecourt, Hinton, High Level, Fort McMurray and Peace River in Alberta; Fort Nelson, Fort St. John and Chetwynd in British Columbia; Regina in Saskatchewan; and Rapid City, South Dakota. Recent job postings for pilots and engineers in Springbrook and Whitecourt suggest the company is currently active.
The operator is geared to industrial and utility work rather than executive passenger travel, so private flyers should confirm passenger charter availability and cabin configuration when enquiring.
