Aviation Services Built for the Toughest Operations

From helicopter logging and drill moves to fire fighting and oil and gas support — if it needs a helicopter, Spear Helicopters gets it done.

Purpose-Built for Industrial Aviation

Spear Helicopters delivers specialized aviation solutions to the industries that keep Canada running. Our crews are trained for remote, high-stakes environments — and our operations are built around one principle: get the job done safely, on time, every time.

Helicopter Logging
