We’re pleased to announce that Helitrax SLU has signed a long-term seasonal contract with Zulu Aviation AG (Switzerland) to provide dedicated helicopter pilotage to support their VIP superyacht operation.
Supporting Zulu Aviation’s Superyacht Operations
The contract will see Capt Ian Garbett returning to the Airbus H155, a type on which he has logged over 2,000 flight hours. After almost seven years away from the aircraft, Ian is excited to be back at the controls. He will be working alongside the team at Zulu Aviation to deliver safe, smooth, and professional rotary support for their VIP clients.
A Welcome Return to the H155
The Airbus EC155 still remains one of the most capable and versatile helicopters in its class. It combines long-range performance with the quiet comfort expected of luxury operations. For Ian, the return to this aircraft brings back many positive memories:
“The EC155 has always been a personal favourite of mine — it’s smooth, quiet, fast and is well configured for VIP transport. After seven years away from the type, I’m genuinely excited to be flying it again and working with the outstanding team at Zulu Aviation.”
– Capt. Ian Garbett
Ian has well over 2,000 flight hours logged on the EC155. He brings deep technical knowledge and operational experience to this assignment, ensuring the highest standards are upheld on every flight.
