Heli-Cental started in 2010 as a mustering operation servicing Central and Western Queensland. Originally beginning with one R22, it soon grew to six, then four R44’s and the beginning of the turbine journey with a Jet Ranger. Stepping into the agriculture world of aerial spraying, Heli-Central soon found a new direction.
Aerial fire fighting and aerial application work was the path Heli-Central wanted for its fleet management and welcomed the ZHM AS350 – Jet Ranger, Long Ranger and AS350 B3 aircraft.
Ten years later in 2020, they proudly welcomed UHH UH1H to the company, ‘Big Red’ as she is affectionately known. ‘Big Red’ is a specialised restricted category aircraft for aerial fire fighting and aerial agriculture applications, coupled with a Bell 205A1 civilian version of the same machine, capable of up to 9 passengers Heli-Central now covers a broad range of operations with their fleet.
