NorthStar operates AS350 series A-Star Helicopters. These turbine powered
helicopters are manufactured by American Eurocopter and are designed to
comfortably transport up to six passengers, plus the pilot, all in a forward facing
position.
Around the world the A-Star has proven itself as the premier tour helicopter because of
its quiet ride and wide windows that provide excellent viewing for every passenger.
Charters
NorthStar helicopters are also available for charter, specializing in flying film crews, photographers, backcountry adventurers, glacier researchers and wildlife researchers. During the winter months we fly heli-skiers in Cordova and Valdez, Alaska. In Alaska’s geographically rugged areas, helicopters can land just about wherever your imagination and adventurous spirit take you.
The A-Star has an external load capacity of up to 2000 pounds for sling loads and can also be equipped with an external basket for skis, packs or extra cargo.
