Safety in a Charter Helicopter
Maintenance, pilot licenses and certification: what stands behind a reputable charter operator.
Charter helicopters in Europe are subject to strict maintenance and certification requirements under EASA standards. Pilots in commercial charter operations need a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) with regular checks and experience on the specific helicopter type.
Twin-engine helicopters such as the Airbus H135 or the Leonardo AW139 offer an additional safety margin, because they can continue flying safely even if one engine fails. This is one reason these types are preferred for flights over densely populated areas. We work exclusively with certified charter operators who demonstrably meet these standards.
