About United Aero Helicopters

United Aero Helicopters was formed by Jim Norrie and Sam Borg with the aim of providing a first class helicopter  service  specialising  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 organisations. 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.

Our main focus and goals are to provide:

  • Safe and efficient helicopter services to the industry.
  • A well-managed service which is compliant to the standards set by the regulator (CASA), the client and to those standards of safety and integrity set by ourselves.
  • To return to the industry a path for the continual improvement of safe operation through the training of pilots and crew and the development of safety systems.
  • To work with the client in achieving the best outcome possible through the further development of safe techniques and practices.
