Guidance Air - Sedona

Guidance Air is a helicopter company based in Hangar L-1 at Sedona Airport, Arizona. It states that it has been flying guests in Northern Arizona since 1998 and describes itself as the longest-running helicopter tour company in Sedona.

Most of its business is scheduled-style sightseeing over the red rock country around Sedona, sold as tours of different lengths and as packages that combine a flight with ground activities. Alongside the tours it offers private charters, which its charter page frames mainly as point-to-point flights, for example to the Grand Canyon, Page or Las Vegas, or a pickup in Phoenix for a day trip to Sedona. Charters are also offered for aerial photography, special-occasion flights and sightseeing to sites such as Meteor Crater.

The company flies its own helicopters and says it has several aircraft to suit different group sizes, but the website does not list aircraft models, passenger capacities or the operating certificate used for charter flights. A pilot recruitment listing for its Sedona sightseeing operation refers to both Part 91 and Part 135 flying.

The service area is Northern Arizona, with Sedona as the departure point and flights reaching Prescott, the Grand Canyon region and neighbouring states on request. Bookings are taken by phone or online. Flyers looking for transport rather than a tour should confirm the aircraft type, seating, baggage limits and the certificate the flight will be conducted under when requesting a quote.
