Thank you for your interest in Columbia Helicopters. Our company was founded by Wes Lematta in 1957 with a single helicopter, and today is the world leader in commercial heavy-lift helicopter operations.

We are the only operator of the commercial models of the CH-47 Chinook and H-46 Sea Knight helicopters, allowing us to offer unmatched lifting services to industries such as logging, construction, petroleum exploration and fighting wild fires.

Additionally, we are able to offer a full range of maintenance services to operators of similar aircraft and/or components.

We invite you to contact us if you require any additional information.
