United Aero Helicopters Fleet

United Aero Helicopters was formed by Jim Norrie and Sam Borg with the aim of providing a first-class helicopter service specializing in the fields of fire fighting and remote area utility support.

The company’s management team has been involved in the industry for over 24 years as both pilots and managers of multiple aircraft organizations. We have gained through these years of operating helicopters on a variety of tasks, a reputation for providing an efficient and safe service to our clients.

United Aero Helicopters manages and operates a fleet of up to 16 single and multi-engine helicopters.

These include AS350 BA, B2 & B3 Squirrel helicopters, Bell 206 Jet Ranger & Long Ranger models, Augusta 119 Koala, Kawasaki BK117 and Bell 212 medium helicopters Our management team has vast experience in the operation of a mixed fleet over remote areas including operations in third world countries.

We have developed many systems that monitor the maintenance of the aircraft and the pilots fatigue to ensure both compliance and safe operation. Our control systems have been tested over many years and are effective even throughout the largest of campaign fires. These systems add to our ability to ensure the supply of service.

Our service does not conclude when the aircraft finish flying. We are available to our clients 24 hours a day through our communication network and beyond the operational scope; we are always willing to assist the client with advice on any industry issues.

Over the past 15 years our team has worked with Energy Companies, Fire and Emergency agencies, Agricultural agencies and Emergency Services including: QLD Dept. of Emergency Services, NSW Rural Fire Service, NSW State Emergency Service, National Parks and Wildlife Service NSW, APLC, Department of Agriculture, Tasmania Fire Service and the ACT Rural Fire Service.
