COLUMBIA HAS THE HELICOPTERS, EXPERIENCE, CAPABILITIES AND TEAM TO COMPLETE AND SUPPORT THE MOST DIFFICULT MISSIONS ON THE PLANET. AVIATION SERVICES Backed by over 60 years of experience, our helicopters and crews take on the jobs few others are qualified to attempt. From logging and construction, to disaster relief and defense, forestry to firefighting — no job is too big or too tough for this team. In the hangar or in the field, no one is more capable or qualified to operate and support your heavy-lift helicopter. HEAVY-LIFT AUTHORITY We harness the power of Chinook helicopters to carry as much as 26,000 lbs of whatever our commercial, military and government customers need to accomplish construction, forestry and stream work, disaster relief, logging, firefighting, and oil and gas-related projects and missions. LIFT SERVICES Columbia is the world’s only commercial operator of the Columbia Model 234 Chinook and Columbia Model 107-II Vertol heavy lift helicopters. These high-performing, hard-working aircraft are the commercial models of the highly regarded CH-47 Chinook and CH-46 Sea Knight. • Aerial Firefighting • Oil and Gas Support • Forestry and Stream Restoration • Infrastructure CHARTER SERVICES Whether we are installing cement barriers to safeguard U.S. troops in Afghanistan from Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) — or helping an international customer field and operate a fleet of heavy-lift aircraft — Columbia’s commitment to customer success is clear. OIL AND GAS SUPPORT 300 RIGS AND COUNTING Columbia Helicopters has been moving rigs quickly, efficiently and safely for over 40 years. We have successfully completed more than 300 rig moves in seven countries in terrain ranging from mountain drill sites at 9,000 feet to jungles at 3,000 feet. WE HAVE MOVED HUNDREDS OF RIGS Columbia Helicopters has successfully carried out more than 300 hundred complicated rig moves, including an 80 nautical mile one-way move and multiple moves at or above 9,000 feet. The tandem rotor and twin engine design of the Columbia Model 234 Chinook and the Columbia Model 107-II Vertol are more efficient than single main rotor designs as it allows all available power to support higher internal and external payloads. This also provides increased stability in crosswinds, allowing the pilots to place loads more precisely at a new rig site OIL AND GAS SUPPORT SERVICES • Rig moves • Equipment transport and placement • Material transport • Logistical support • Cargo hook and rigging • Specialized rigging • Various cargo delivery options FORESTRY AND STREAM RESTORATION Columbia’s extensive experience has established a world class Load Management Program.
