Los Angeles Helicopters Moves to New Facility

October 1, 2008

On its 8th anniversary, Los Angeles Helicopters proudly announces moving to a 12,000 square foot, two story building and adjacent ramp on the Long Beach Airport in California. Conveniently located near the main entrance of the airport, the new property makes Los Angeles Helicopters one of the largest Federal Aviation Administration accredited helicopter-only charter, flight training academy and Robinson Helicopter Company dealer and service centers in the country.

“It is a very exciting time for Los Angeles Helicopters as all departments and locations are consolidated in one facility”, says President and CEO Michael Rogers. “This facility accommodates the company’s foreseeable growth and beyond”.

The facility is modeled after high-end fixed base operators (FBO’s) typically found at large airports that accommodate executive jet clientele. The helicopter parking area (ramp) is immediately adjacent the building and also accessible through a secure gate from the roadway. Other features include a private glassed-in passenger waiting lounge with views of awaiting helicopters, a large reception area flooded with natural light and a conference room for large meetings. The second floor is dedicated to the rapidly growing FAA accredited part 141 pilot training and part 133 external load training flight school. Students enjoy views from second floor windows to the ramp, can observe maintenance department personnel working on helicopters and view the privately owned and hangared helicopters. Each floor has restroom facilities and the second floor flight school has a kitchen and quiet room for study and flight planning. Pilot access to the ramp is quickly achieved after a brief walk through the hangar. Maintenance department personnel are easily accessible to answer pre or post flight questions.

A key feature of the new facility is the underground fuel farm. Unlike most operators that rely on other companies to refuel their waiting aircraft, LAH personnel manage and operate the fueling. There is no delay launching aircraft.

Los Angeles Helicopters may be found at 3501 Lakewood Boulevard, Long Beach, California 90808. Its telephone and fax numbers have remained the same. Telephone (562) 377-0396, fax (562) 377-0449, web www.lahelicopters.com and e-mail fly@lahelicopters.com
