Our Story
From humble beginnings to becoming a trusted name in helicopter services.
Not the new kids on the block
HMC started as a helicopter maintenance company in 1989 but never imagined we would grow into what it is today — an operation with everything from charters, sightseeing, and research flights, to fire support, cinematography, aerial photography, banner towing, heavy lifting, frost patrol, powerline patrol, and aerial spraying.
HMC Helicopter Service is a fully insured and licensed passenger air carrier based in the coolest city on earth, but our different helicopter missions take us to new and exciting locations.
Our staff is friendly, experienced, and ready to help you out with the best solutions, while our fleet stands ready to respond to your every need. So don’t be shy — reach out.
We love to help!
