Heliwest’s available twin-engine fleet includes the Bolkow 105, Bell 212/412 and the Augusta Westland 139.  These aircraft can be configured to fulfil a number of roles including Emergency Medical Services (EMS), large-scale logistics and heavy-lift capability for both onshore and offshore contracts.  The single turbine-engined workhorses are the AS350 Squirrel and the much-loved Bell 206 Jet Ranger/Long Ranger.  Together, these machines operate predominantly in the northwest region, supporting mining and resources projects.

 

The company fleet also includes Robinson 22s and 44s, used for training, pleasure flights and light air work or support tasks.
