Founded in 1995 by Scott Runyan with a single engagement with the United States Forest Service, Helicopter Express has grown steadily into one of the most trusted aerial services organisations in the world. Today, it operates a diverse fleet spanning Sikorsky S-64 Skycranes, Kaman K-Max K-1200s, Bell 412EPXs, Bell 205s, Bell 407s, Airbus AS-350s and holds active annual contracts in Greece, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Chile, and Italy. The operator delivers a broad range of mission-critical services: heavy lift and crane operations, utility and electrical construction support, aerial firefighting and search and rescue, disaster relief and charter operations.
“As Helicopter Express has grown, so has the complexity of running our fleet. TracPlus has given us the platform to manage that complexity without adding overhead. We can track every aircraft across every base, automate our reporting, and make faster, better-informed decisions – whether we’re fighting fires in California or managing lift operations overseas. For a growing company, that kind of operational clarity is invaluable,” said Scott Runyan, Vice President, Government Services, Helicopter Express Inc.
