Our Fleet
We have a small fleet of fantastic helicopters including two Airbus H125s, an EC120 & a MD520N. All aircraft are maintained to incredibly high standards. We use modern technology, which includes equipping all our aircraft with V2Track systems that use satellite tracking technology so ground staff are in contact with our aircraft and pilots at all times. Some of our fleet are also fitted with Eye In The Sky cameras.
Airbus Helicopters H125
Glacier Country Helicopters operates two blue H125 Helicopters (previously known as AS350 B2 squirrels).
They have leather interiors and comfortable passenger seats, flying up to 6 passengers each. Their large windows are perfect for your scenic flight and photo opportunities. They are the most popular/widely operated passenger machine in the world.
They are versatile and excellent for operating in our unique mountain environment being the most powerful helicopter in our fleet.
McDonnell Douglas MD520 Notar
The MD520N seats up to 4 passengers and is a pilot favourite to fly. Commonly known as the “Notar” this stands for ‘no tail rotor’ as it has an alternative tail rotor design with a proven safety margin.
This helicopter is used for a lot of our commercial work due to its ability to get into smaller areas and power to size ratio.
It has the smallest interior of our three machine types so is often used for families and 1-3 person private charters.
Airbus EC120
Colibri
The EC120 is our newest fleet member. Its comfortably seats four passengers with one in the front and three in the back. With large windows and only one person in the front it gives great views in all seats. The sliding doors give easy door access, and it is more suitable for people with limited mobility.
This helicopter is considered our premium machine, and you can request an upgrade to fly in it during your booking process. It does however have the most restrictive passenger weight limits in our fleet.
