Commercial helicopter flying
began in British Columbia in the summer of 1947. Three ex-RCAF
officers, pilots Carl Agar and Barney Bent, and engineer Alf
Stringer, were operating a fixed-wing charter company, Okanagan Air
Services Ltd., out of Penticton. In July 1947 they raised enough
money to purchase a Bell 47-B3 and pay for their flying and
maintenance training. Okanagan Air Services moved to Vancouver in
1949, was renamed Okanagan Helicopters Ltd. and, by 1954, had become
the largest commercial helicopter operator in the world. In 1987,
Newfoundland businessman Craig Dobbin headed a group that purchased
Okanagan Helicopters and Toronto Helicopters and merged them with
his own company, Sealand Helicopters to form Canadian Helicopters.
The new parent company was called Canadian Helicopter Corporation.
CHC acquired British International Helicopters in 1994; Helikopter
Services Group of Norway in 1999 and Lloyd Helicopters of Australia
and Court Helicopters of South Africa.
