About Wucher Helicopter

Wucher Helicopter is a helicopter company based in Ludesch, Vorarlberg, Austria. The website says the company has worked on demanding high mountain operations for 45 years. It flies cargo, passenger, rescue, and training missions.

Its loaded flights carry loads of up to 5 tonnes. The website says its transport helicopters reach the site quickly and do not need roads. Cargo work also includes helicopter saw work, timber extraction, vertical cutting, film and photo flights, and power line construction.

Passenger flights include scenic flights, gourmet flights to a restaurant of the guest's choice, tandem parachute jumps in Vorarlberg, and flights with dual controls. The company also offers backstage tours. Its passenger flight pages include Formula One and MotoGP events in Spielberg.

The VIP and shuttle service flies guests from airports to selected Alpine landing sites, mountain hotels, chalets, and ski resorts. Popular routes include Zurich Airport to Lech Zurs, Munich Airport to Zell am See, and Innsbruck Airport to St. Anton am Arlberg. Heliskiing on the Arlberg is also offered as a service.

Flight rescue provides swift help in areas that are hard to reach. The helicopter school says a pilot's licence can be earned in only 4 to 8 months. The school is one of the company's listed services next to its cargo and passenger work.

The fleet pages list Airbus Helicopters H125 and H135 HEMS, a Bell 205 A1, and a Super Puma AS 332 C1. The H125 carries a pilot and five passengers. The Super Puma lists two pilots and up to 17 passengers. The Bell 205 A1 is listed with a payload of 2000 kg.

The company runs its own maintenance firm. It services its own helicopters and also services helicopters owned by others. The website says this maintenance is certified to the EASA standard under AT.145.055, which the company says ensures the technical reliability of all its aircraft.
