Helinet

Helinet Aviation is a helicopter company based in Van Nuys, in the Los Angeles area of California. A 2017 trade profile describes it as in business since 1987, founded by Alan Purwin and later led by Kathryn Purwin as chief executive.

Its services include VIP helicopter charter, air medical transport, aerial video production for film and television, electronic news gathering, utility flying and aircraft management. The same 2017 profile reports that it had been a primary air medical provider for Children's Hospital Los Angeles since 1998.

The current website lists three cabin types for charter: the Sikorsky S-76 for up to eight passengers, the Leonardo AW109 for up to six, and the Airbus AS350 for up to five. Twin-engine S-76 and AW109 aircraft suit executive transfers, while the AS350 serves smaller groups.

Charter work centres on Southern California, where helicopters avoid road congestion. The trade profile lists regular flights to San Diego, San Luis Obispo and Palm Springs, with trips further afield to San Francisco, Las Vegas, Napa Valley, Texas and Arizona.

No ARGUS, Wyvern or IS-BAO audit status was found in the sources reviewed, so flyers who require one should ask the company directly.
