Horizon Helicopters

Horizon Helicopters is a helicopter company based in Newark, Delaware, that has been operating since 1985. It describes itself as Delaware's only FAA approved Part 135 charter service company. It flies a Bell 206 JetRanger, a five seat turbine helicopter that has been a workhorse of charter and utility flying for decades.

The company offers charter services under its FAA operating certificates and runs FAA approved helicopter tours. Newark sits in northern Delaware between Wilmington and the Maryland border, so tours and charters can reach the Brandywine Valley, the Delaware River, Philadelphia and the Chesapeake Bay.

Beyond passenger flights, the company flies aerial inspections and offers pilot training, including in flight coaching. It says its team of five pilots has more than 50,000 combined accident free flight hours.

The company says its mission is to keep high safety standards, give professional service and run efficient operations. With nearly four decades of flying in the state, it is the longest established helicopter charter operator in Delaware.
