Cape Town Helicopters: The Edge of Africa

Few helicopter missions test crews and machines like offshore flying: long legs over cold water, tight timelines, and no margin for indecision. Every departure is a deliberate commitment to precision, discipline, and trust—in the aircraft, the crew, and the systems that keep everything working when the nearest runway is a horizon away. From its dual bases at Cape Town International Airport and the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town Helicopters (CTH) has quietly built a reputation for exactly this kind of flying. Decades of experience in multi-disciplinary, twin-engine operations have positioned the company at the forefront of high-end, dual-crew helicopter work in one of the most demanding operating environments.
