Gulf Helicopters is a name to reckon with today. The name immediately comes to mind when it concerns air transport. GHC has been actively providing all kinds of onshore transportation services since its inception in 1973. However, the many modern technological systems have been incorporated along with an increase in the fleet size after GHC had become a part of Gulf International Services (GIS).
There is no doubt that GHC is one of the leading organizations when it comes to helicopter flights. It has succeeded in providing the necessary services both locally as well as internationally in a cost effective manner. It has received numerous awards for safety in the years 2014 & 2015 including several Technical Safety awards for its engineers. This enviable safety record has remained unsurpassed for over forty years despite having clocked more than 500,000 hours to date.
Clients have no qualms in opting for GHC over its competitors when they learn about the ISO 9001:2008 accreditation given for Quality System in Transportation, Management and Maintenance of Helicopters along with all associated services. The fully computerized system has been effective in providing GHC’s clients a stress free environment during transportation. The Aviation management practiced by the company is flawless, thanks to its Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP).
The clientele list of GHC reads like the Who’s Who of the world with heads of States and VVIPs from every part of the globe choosing to fly with the company. Transporting VIPs commenced in August 2006 after obtaining a S-92 Executive Transport Helicopter from Sikorsky. This was the first of its kind in the Middle East. The S-92 is capable of flying 444 nautical miles without stoppage. It also adheres to the safety regulations of the United States of America as well as that of Europe. The certificate from ‘US Federal Aviation Administration’ proves it.
