We also offer personalized charters and scenic helicopter tours including heli-biking utilizing our Aero Design helicopter bike rack.
Our company’s number one priority is providing the absolute safest and most efficient helicopter transportation and maintenance services in the industry. Horizon Helicopters has a very thorough and extensive safety program implemented. Our health and safety program works in conjunction with Transport Canada’s requirements for the development of a Safety Management System and exceeds national standards.
