The Air Operator Certificate (CTA) from the Direction générale de l'Aviation civile is the approval a company needs to fly commercial charter. The regulator approves its pilots, training, maintenance and aircraft before they carry paying passengers, and audits the operation. Altivo Jets books flights only with licensed operators and names the operator on every quote. How we check operators.
Company
About Helifirst
Helifirst is a Paris based helicopter carrier. It holds French DGAC air operator certificate FR.AOC.0104 and appears on the regulator's December 2025 list of helicopter operators with a valid certificate, which covers commercial air transport by helicopter. It describes itself as a helicopter airline working in corporate and VIP business aviation and in aerial work.
The company states that it works with each client to develop a specific format, whether for business transport, discovery flights or special operations. It promotes sightseeing flights over landscapes and viewpoints that it presents as about forty five minutes' flying time from Paris, and it says it follows each client closely to ensure comfort and a personal welcome on every flight. Its offer therefore spans executive travel, leisure flights and specialist missions from the Paris region.
The company's site is built around the Airbus Écureuil AS355N, a twin turbine helicopter, and the fleet listed for its certificate is three Airbus AS355 Twin Squirrel helicopters. No third party safety audit is published for the company.
