Valair AG

Valair AG is a helicopter services company based in Balzers, Liechtenstein, operating since 1992. The company focuses on scenic flights, glacier landings, adventure tours, professional flight training, and specialized professional services. Flights are offered mainly from Balzers, Zurich, and Sitterdorf, providing access to the Swiss Alps and surrounding regions.

Valair offers a wide range of scenic helicopter tours, including premium and deluxe classes. Their glacier landing flights reach up to 3,000 metres in alpine areas such as the Glarus Alps. Adventure flights and winter special tours are also featured for unique aerial experiences.

The company operates professional services such as taxi flights for efficient travel, aerial photography with high-definition Cineflex V14 HD and ULTRA 6K camera systems, power line inspection, and LIDAR surveying. Valair emphasizes safety and efficiency with experienced professional pilots and compliance with aviation standards.

Valair also runs a helicopter flight school located at the Balzers heliport. The school provides training for private pilots (PPL), commercial pilots (CPL), mountain flying (MOU), type ratings, and night rating extensions. Training uses Robinson helicopters, mainly the R44 Raven II and R66 Turbine models. The company highlights its own maintenance organization (CAMO+) and its role as an official Robinson representative as advantages for flight training.

The Balzers heliport, where Valair is based, opened in 1979 and serves as an important aviation hub in Liechtenstein. It offers favorable flying conditions with short transit times to working areas and fewer foggy days. Valair operates with an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) issued by the Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation, adhering to EASA regulations for passenger transport.

Valair's customers include private individuals seeking scenic and adventure flights as well as professionals needing taxi flights or aerial survey services.
