Sky Aviation Helicopter Services

Sky Aviation is an Italian helicopter operator formed from the merger of Airstar Aviation and GMH Helicopter Services. The company says the merger created a larger, more flexible and better coordinated business. Its registered office is at the Franco Garda heliport at Entrèves, Courmayeur, in the Aosta Valley.

Airstar Aviation was founded in 2005 and has a strong presence across Piedmont and the Aosta Valley. It also has a branch in Greece and runs its own flight school for helicopter pilots. GMH Helicopter Services began in the Aosta Valley in 2012 and has grown steadily in the region and nearby areas.

Passenger work includes heli taxi and transfers, dedicated passenger flights, scenic flights and tours. Heliski programmes run in the Aosta Valley. The company also offers a flight school and a flight simulator for training.

Work flights include carrying loads on a hook in the north west Alps. These loads include materials for public and private building works, hydrogeological monitoring, hut supplies for mountain refuges and civil protection missions.

The company says its pilots, technicians and ground crews have wide experience of flying on the highest mountains in Europe. It describes these mountains as among the most demanding and competitive settings in the sector, and says that experience is the basis of its service.

The operating base is in Cossato, in Piedmont. The website lists both the registered and operating offices, and the company says its focus is to provide more professional and specialised helicopter services across its territory.
