Bell Helicopters BH12 was originally designed in 1973 as a fifteen place transport helicopter specializing in utility type work. With it’s induction to the Canadian military this helicopter has proven itself as a timeless workhorse. The 212’s that Skyline operate have undergone extensive upgrades and modifications to the engines and drive train enabling them to outperform basic Bell 212’s.
Additionally Skyline has installed BLR strake and fast-fin technology to their 212’s increasing their hover performance as well as larger tail rotors again allowing better performance at altitude. Skyline’s fleet of 212’s is also equipped with extended range fuel tanks. These give the option to go further and last longer on site when required. As this aircraft is a proven provider, Skyline utilizes these helicopters in a variety of challenging and technical environments where the Safety of our crew and passengers are paramount.

The AW119 Koala is Leonardo’s high-performance single-engine helicopter designed for operators who need speed, power, and reliability in demanding environments. Introduced as an evolution of the original AW119, the Mk II brings significant improvements in power management, avionics, and stability — making it one of the most capable single-engine platforms in its class.
Skyline’s Koalas can be configured specifically for mountain and utility operations or executive transport. The aircraft’s PT6 engine allows smoother, safer power management, while the large cabin and class leading baggage space make it surprisingly versatile for passenger movement and gear-heavy missions.
