Travel Mandates Update for June 2022
The Federal Gov’t is lifting vaccine requirements for domestic travel through Canada. Proof of vaccination will no longer be required before boarding from our bases.
When Covid-19 precautions started affecting operations in the Spring of 2020, Yellowhead Helicopters with the help of Avio Design Group worked on developing a barrier for the cabin of the AStar AS350 and Bell 206/212 helicopters. The design’s supplemental type certificate (STC SH20-26) was approved by Transport Canada in the summer and since then has been installed in active aircraft in the YHL fleet.
On top of the health protocols we already practice – temperature checks, wearing masks inside the aircraft, disinfecting/cleaning, and social distancing whenever possible – the barrier further reduces the risk of virus transmission between clients and flight crew.

Yellowhead Helicopters is expanding their fleet with the addition of several BK117 B2 helicopters. We are currently seeking applications for licensed Bk117 pilots for both full-time and seasonal summer contract positions.
Gov’t of Canada and Transport Canada travel restrictions with Covid safety protocols are still active for helicopter operations.
YHL has added AirSuite’s Cirro cloud-based software to it’s arsenal of real-time tools to support the processes of flight managing, planning & tracking.
