Armenian Helicopters

Armenian Helicopters LLC is an Armenian airline and helicopter operator headquartered in Yerevan, with its base at Yerevan Airport. Founded in June 2018, it is described as the first airline in the Republic of Armenia specializing in helicopter flights. The company holds an aircraft operator certificate (AM AOC 067) issued by the Civil Aviation Committee of the Republic of Armenia and an international airline code (KAV) issued by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The airline operates a fleet built around light and high-end turbine helicopters, principally the Airbus Helicopters H125/AS350 B3e and the Robinson R66. These aircraft are configured for special-purpose sightseeing and charter flights carrying up to five and four passengers respectively. A key operational advantage highlighted by the company is the ability of helicopters to land on almost any pre-prepared open area, making them suitable for hard-to-reach locations. Armenian Helicopters offers a broad service portfolio. Its main services include international charter flights, excursion and sightseeing flights, aerial work, and medical evacuation. Additional services cover the sale of helicopters and spare parts, CAMO (continuing airworthiness management organization) support, technical service of helicopters, and the construction and operation of helipads and related equipment. The company also markets adventure tourism products such as heliskiing in Armenia, skydiving through its "We Are Skydive Armenia" offering, weddings and events, and luxury transfers by Range Rover in cooperation with Range Rover Armenia. Beyond Armenia, the company conducts flights in neighboring countries including Georgia, Turkey, and Russia. It also provides technical services, training for private pilots, and helicopter sales. During the Azerbaijani offensive against the Republic of Artsakh in September 2023, the company assisted in evacuating a sick woman from the town of Goris to the Erebuni Medical Center, one of Armenia's largest hospitals. After a fuel tank explosion in Berkadzor near the Artsakh capital Stepanakert that injured more than 300 people, an Armenian Helicopters helicopter transported a team of doctors and medical supplies to the region. The company's website presents a range of priced experiences, including a 10-minute helicopter ride at 55,000 AMD per person, a private helicopter flight for five persons at 850,000 AMD, and heliskiing starting from 250,000 AMD. Its fleet page details the technical specifications of the Robinson R66 Turbine and the Airbus H125/AS350 B3e. The company's team page, however, appears to contain placeholder content with generic names and contact details, suggesting the site is still being finalized in places.

Armenian Helicopters LLC was founded in June 2018 and is recognized as the first airline in Armenia specializing in helicopter flights. The company received an aircraft operator certificate (AM AOC 067) from the Civil Aviation Committee of the Republic of Armenia and an international airline code (KAV) from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). This allowed it to operate light helicopters such as the Airbus Helicopters H125/AS350 B3e and high-end Robinson R66 helicopters. The airline was established to serve special-purpose sightseeing and charter flights, with a focus on the ability to land on almost any pre-prepared open area. Over time, it expanded its service portfolio beyond flights to include helicopter sales, spare parts, CAMO, technical service, and helipad construction and operation. It also developed adventure tourism offerings, including heliskiing in Armenia, skydiving, weddings and events, and luxury transfers by Range Rover in cooperation with Range Rover Armenia.
