CalvinAir, November 08, 2020 - A brand new way to fly in the Caribbean has emerged. Based in Antigua, CalvinAir Helicopters is poised for success, offering the highest caliber of safety, comfort and luxury in air travel.

The operation’s aircraft are state-of-the-art and not seen before in the Caribbean region. The Airbus EC130 is known to be the gold standard in helicopter aerial touring machines.

In addition, the style of its tail rotor reduces outside noise by up to 50 percent, earning it the nickname “ECO-Star.”

“CalvinAir Helicopters (CAH) is the best of its breed in all-purpose helicopter operations”, said Calvin Ayre, owner of the company.

“I am extremely proud of what our team has put together. We can offer services across the spectrum, from search-and-rescue or medical airlift, to old-fashioned island-hopping to that beach club you’ve always wanted to experience. I will be one of the top customers myself in that last category!”

Mark Fleming, CalvinAir Helicopters CEO, shares Calvin’s enthusiasm. “The speed of the helicopter, combined with relatively short flight times to hop to adjacent islands, gets guests to their final destination, at times even faster than by jet,” Fleming said.

“Bypassing the need for runways, our helicopters can quickly get up to top speed and land or depart without having to queue behind other aircraft.

“For VIP travel in the region,” Fleming added, “CAH is the perfect fit. With CAH being both an Approved Maintenance Organization as well as an Air Operator under ECCAA (Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation Authority), we have a very strong foundation for success as well as limitless expansion possibilities.”

On top of offering tours around Antigua, and nearby Montserrat, CalvinAir Helicopters is available for custom charters, aerial photography, megayacht support, search and rescue and emergency medical airlift.

Earlier this year, the helicopter was able to offer airlift service to an injured construction worker in Barbuda, who needed urgent medical attention. He was transported to the Mount St. John’s Medical Centre where he was given treatment.

The helicopter service is headquartered at the V.C. Bird International Airport and boasts two heliports; one on Fort Road and the other just outside Jolly Harbour. They are conveniently located and ready to service the island.
