NorthStar Helicopters, which also trades as NorthStar Trekking, is a helicopter company in Juneau, Alaska. It states that it has operated since 1998 and runs from two bases: an airport base at 1890 Renshaw Way and a Douglas base on North Douglas Highway.
Much of the business is helicopter-based tourism. The company lists glacier trekking and walkabouts, glacier dogsledding, Taku Glacier helicopter and airboat tours, glacier ice climbing and heli-skiing in the Chugach Range.
Alongside the tours, the company has a charter division aimed at commercial and government work. Listed charter tasks include crew transport, drill moves, mineral exploration support, forestry and fire support, animal surveys and tagging, precision long-line and external load work, photography flights, heli-ski operations, and search and rescue or medical support.
The charter page states that the operation has OAS/USFS carded pilots, mechanics and aircraft, and that aircraft carry satellite tracking, GPS navigation and satellite communications. Service is described as year-round across Alaska. The website does not name specific helicopter models.
Flyers looking for passenger transport rather than a packaged tour should contact the company directly to confirm whether a given trip can be flown as a charter.
