About VIH Aerospace

VIH Aerospace is a helicopter maintenance, manufacturing, repair and overhaul company. It works as a group of global MMRO specialists. The company is part of the VIH Aviation Group, with its base in North Saanich, British Columbia. It is located at the Victoria International Airport.

The company says it dedicates its efforts to every client as if that client were its only one. Its main services are helicopter maintenance, structural repairs and modifications, manufacturing, component repair and overhaul, STC development, paint and composites, and avionics. It also offers a monthly product catalogue with its services, STCs and featured products.

Maintenance and inspection work covers Bell 205, 206A and 206B, 206L, 212 and 407 helicopters. It also covers Airbus H125 and AS350 helicopters, and Sikorsky S-61 and S-92 helicopters. Work can be done at the VIH facility or at the customer's site.

The component business has a Bell component capabilities matrix. It lists work on main rotor heads, swashplates, transmissions, tail rotor gearboxes, and many other components across Bell 204 to 412 models. Component work is delivered to meet or exceed OEM specifications.

The avionics team repairs and maintains avionics systems, including night vision, FLIR, communications, radar and navigation systems for legacy helicopters. The design department uses CAD software to help customers with supplemental type certificate approval for special installations, modifications and upgrades.

It offers structural repairs, NDT inspection, aircraft refurbishment and completions, scheduled inspections, 3D scanning and 3D printing. It also sells parts and special operations equipment, and handles aircraft imports and registration. The company says it is a Bell Helicopter Authorized Customer Service Facility.

VIH Helicopters, formerly Vancouver Island Helicopters, was founded in 1955. The company was incorporated as VIH Aerospace in 2000. The VIH Aviation Group later acquired Northern Mountain Helicopters and Cougar Helicopters. Engineering is contracted to a third party firm with a permit to practice.
