Flying Tiger Aviation & Support Services | About Us
Since the company’s incorporation in 1998, Flying Tiger Aviation and Support Services Ltd. has specialized in operating helicopters in remote areas or geographical locations where existing support services are either unavailable or have never previously operated.
Staffed by experienced professionals and with a reputation for safe and efficient operations, the company is known as a specialist in those areas of rotary wing which are complex, difficult, and potentially dangerous.
The company’s main operational focus includes operation of contracts on behalf of the offshore oil and gas industry, Search And Rescue (SAR) and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) services, and increasingly training and management support on various national government and NGO contracts.
With an emphasis on safety and reliability, as well as only promising only what can be realistically delivered, Flying Tiger Aviation has built up a large client list over the past 13 years. As a result, the company has expanded its offerings in response to client’s requests, and now operates a large consultancy and advisory division within the company. On the operational level, the company continues to grow with the reliability and delivery that has become the company’s hallmark.
