Elifly International S.r.l.

Eli-Fly International S.r.l. is a helicopter services company founded in 1983 at Esine, in the province of Brescia at the entrance to the Val Camonica. It began with a single helicopter, started by Giuliano Comensoli, working on materials and pylons for high-voltage power lines.
