Rotorsun

Rotorsun S.L. is a Spanish helicopter operator based in Águilas, in the Region of Murcia. The company says it was founded in 1998 by specialists with more than 25 years of experience in aerial work with helicopters. It says the work began from a passion for flying.

The website reports 28 helicopters, more than 125 professionals, more than 4,000 operations and more than 60,000 flight hours. The company says it relies on the skills and responsibility of its staff. It also has its own maintenance center.

Rotorsun lists six main services. Agricultural work covers spraying, pest control, disease management and fertilizers. External loads covers moving goods when normal means are not practical, including transport and installation in hard to reach places. Electrical grid work covers cleaning of insulators and thermographic inspection of high voltage lines. Civil protection covers a fast response in places others cannot reach. Filming covers photography and filming of events from the air. Wildfire work covers prevention, coordination of resources, extinguishing and perimeter control. The About Us page also lists patrolling and aerial advertising.

The fleet shown on the site is made up of Bell helicopters. The models are the Bell 212, Bell 206B, Bell 412, Bell 206L and Bell 407.

Rotorsun says it has developed new techniques and working methods since 1998 to protect the quality and safety of its operations. It states that its team and its own maintenance center support this work.

The company lists management system standards. They are ISO 9001:2015 for quality, ISO 14001:2015 for the environment and ISO 45001:2018 for health and safety. It also lists UNE 19601:2017 for criminal compliance and UNE ISO 37001:2016 for anti bribery.

In November 2021 Rotorsun says it became a pioneer in Spain by getting both the criminal compliance and anti bribery certificates from Bureau Veritas. It also reports winning the Expansión award for Best SME of the Year in Compliance. Its careers page invites pilots and other aviation staff to apply.
