From medevac and air ambulance services to aerial firefighting, rescue and relief, and passenger and cargo transport, we provide versatile aviation solutions supported by onsite maintenance and logistics.

Our capabilities include medium to heavy lift helicopter operations, offshore and onshore support for oil, gas and mining, anti-poaching and surveillance, powerline inspection and aerial surveys, night vision operations and marine salvage. Each solution is configured around our customers’ requirements, with a focus on safety, reliability and responsive service.

Medevac

Fast medical transport for patients, doctors and essential equipment, with in-flight care and support.

AERIAL FIRE FIGHTING

We provide a range of helicopters for aerial fire fighting, as well as air and ground crew who are trained to operate in demanding situations that are often hot and hostile. We successfully provide cargo sling water bombing via under-slung Bambi Buckets.

Additional aircraft are used often required to carry fire fighters to the wild fire areas, to conduct ground fire control and for emergency withdrawal from dangerous situations. We provide Medevac standby in all operations where lives are at risk.

All maintenance and logistical support is provided onsite.

DISASTER RESUCE AND RELIEF

Starlite Aviation provides rapid disaster relief, search and rescue, and emergency air support through mission-ready helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. Our experienced crews deliver air evacuations, survivor transport, emergency medical support, and food and medical supply drops.

With proven experience responding to natural disasters, we support infrastructure restoration and clean-up operations. Skilled aircrew, ground teams and onsite aircraft maintenance enable reliable, sustained aviation support when communities need it most.
