Short-notice helicopter flight crew SOLUTIONS

Helitrax SLU provides short-notice helicopter flight crew, engineers and operational support for AOC holders who require reliable, type-experienced personnel at short notice. Our support is based on a trusted professional network rather than a recruitment model. Helitrax SLU is not a recruitment agency.

We work exclusively with a known group of aviation professionals with whom there is an established working relationship. Their capability and judgement have already been demonstrated in demanding commercial, offshore and VIP environments. This allows AOC operators to access additional capability without the uncertainty often associated with agency-sourced crew.

How Helitrax SLU Works with AOC Operators

Not a recruitment agency

  • Helitrax SLU does not advertise for unknown contractors or operate as a recruitment agency. Instead, AOC operators are supported by pilots and engineers who are part of a known, trusted professional network with an established working relationship with Helitrax SLU.

Integration into existing SOPs

  • Crews are accustomed to integrating into established procedures, company manuals and safety management systems. The focus is on operating in line with the AOC’s existing standards and culture.

Professional and discreet conduct

  • Assignments are carried out with professionalism, discretion and a consistent emphasis on safety and good airmanship.

Availability & Geographic Coverage

Support is available to AOC operators globally subject to licencing authority approval.

Availability is influenced by seasonal demand and existing commitments. Early engagement is helpful, but Helitrax SLU will always endeavour to assist where a practical solution can be found.
