Heli Source expansion

[Actuality]

I just heard that Heli Source is opening 7 new bases in ex highland locations. Did they get all highlands work? Seems like quite the investment. Hope it pays off for them. Anyone know if they’re gonna be hiring?

Marblearch, I saw that article and that’s what got me interested.  It’s a bold move when there are some already well established operators in FSJ. 
 

Good question displayname. 
 

Here’s some insight I found on the interweb.

does anyone remember when YQR had an operator based there??

I remember when Trans Canada Pipelines had a 206 at richardson.. lumsden airspray had a hughes 269 in lumsden... STARS is there now... any others i'm missing??

I think operations base has a pretty loose definition. I've been at companies who park a ship on the tarmac somewhere and advertise as a base...

IMO if the base doesn't have a base manager or building, its not much of a base.

I remember at Northern Airsupport in Kelowna in the day.  Had a closet with a phone for a Alberta company.  Phone number was forwarded back to Alberta.  Helped their machines get BC flying
