Core Services & Expertise

Lionair operates across five core business areas: charter services, operational management, repair and maintenance, aircraft sales and distribution, and parts supply. Their helicopter fleet includes Robinson R44 and R66 units for aerial tours and short-distance travel, plus the twin-engine AS355 F2 for larger groups. Fixed-wing aircraft include the versatile King Air B200 turboprop for VIP charter, cargo, and medevac, the Westwind I jet for business trips, and the Bombardier Challenger 600 for larger group flights.

Air ambulance services feature licensed medical practitioners providing care before, during, and after flights including medical evacuation and rescue operations. As Robinson’s exclusive Philippine distributor, Lionair sells R44 Raven I, Raven II, and Clipper Series helicopters while exclusively supplying all spare parts and materials needed to service Robinson helicopters nationwide.
