It was fantastic to showcase HeliOperations’ full capability set at Farnborough International Airshow this year – as the UK’s only commercial provider integrating helicopter and UAS training, aircraft engineering and certified design into a single end-to-end capability solution, bringing together everything we do under one roof:
Aviation Training
Approved military and civil helicopter flying training, delivered by our team of former military and civilian instructors from our world-class facilities in Portland, UK. Of note we were proud to sign a new contract with Reiser Simulation and Training during the show which will see the delivery of a AW139 simulator system at Portland from 2027.
Design & Modification
Bespoke aircraft design and modification work, supporting operators with solutions tailored to their mission requirements. Showcased by our modified Sea King static display aircraft which gave our visitors a hands-on look at our design and modification work in action.
Drone Certification
Our growing capability in certifying uncrewed systems, helping operators navigate an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.
By integrating training, engineering and certification within one organisation, we reduce programme risk, accelerate capability delivery and provide NATO and partner nations with a sovereign, scalable pathway to long-term aviation capability.
Farnborough 2026 enabled us to engage with senior stakeholders from across industry and international armed forces, discussing current programmes, emerging requirements, and how HeliOperations can support the next generation of rotary and uncrewed aviation capability.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand for a great few days of conversations, connections, and ideas. We’re looking forward to building on them.
