Our Story

As a woman-owned, family-run company, Vortex Helicopter Services grew from our shared love of aviation and our belief that flying should be both safe and unforgettable. For us, there’s nothing better than watching someone’s face light up as they lift off for the first time or take a confident step in their flight training.

Pittsburgh is where our family lives, works, and flies. From above, its bridges, rivers, and mix of old and new architecture tell the story of a city we’re proud to call home. Sharing that view—our view—will always feel special, and we’re honored to share it with you.

Setting the Standard

We are dedicated to upholding the highest safety standards in the industry. Our flight and ground crews are highly trained and experienced in all aspects of helicopter operations.

When you fly with us, you are in the hands of committed professionals who prioritize your safety at all times.
