Last week, Custom Helicopters attended the Airbus International Utility Summit in Vancouver. Our President & CEO, Jed Hansen, participated in a panel discussion entitled “Changing Landscape of Firefighting Missions”. It was an insightful conversation where panelists shared their experiences, innovations and strategies in combating wildfires using helicopters, not only here in Canada but worldwide. It was a great discussion and opportunity to learn from leaders in the industry.

It’s Air Ambulance Week in the UK. Therefore, we thought we’d take this opportunity to join in recognizing the vital role helicopters play in emergency medical services. Custom Helicopters has been providing air ambulance services for over 3 decades. Beginning with daytime operations with light, single engine helicopters, our services have since evolved into a full 24/7 Helicopter Emergency Service (HEMS) operation.
