TracPlus has announced a new enterprise partnership with Helicopter Express, a utility helicopter operator based in Atlanta, Georgia. The partnership began earlier this year following a trial period and includes deployment of the TracPlus platform across Helicopter Express’s fleet of 46 helicopters operating from multiple bases and across a range of aircraft types.
The deployment provides Helicopter Express with a unified operational platform as the company continues to expand through acquisitions and growth into new service areas and regions.
Founded in 1995, Helicopter Express operates a fleet that includes Sikorsky S-64 Skycranes, Kaman K-Max K-1200s, Bell 412EPXs, Bell 205s, Bell 407s, and Airbus AS-350s. The company provides services including heavy lift operations, utility and electrical construction support, aerial firefighting, search and rescue, disaster relief, and charter operations, with engagements in countries including Greece, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Chile, and Italy.
According to the companies, the TracPlus platform will provide real-time fleet visibility, operational analytics, automated reporting, and integrated alerting functions across Helicopter Express’s operations.
Todd O’Hara, CEO of TracPlus, said: “We’re proud to be part of Helicopter Express’ next chapter. A 46-aircraft fleet operating across multiple continents needs operational clarity that scales with it. That’s what we’re here to provide.”
Scotty Runyan, Vice President, Government Services, Helicopter Express Inc., said: “As Helicopter Express has grown, so has the complexity of running our fleet. TracPlus has given us the platform to manage that complexity without adding overhead. We can track every aircraft across every base, automate our reporting, and make faster, better-informed decisions – whether we’re fighting fires in California or managing lift operations overseas. For a growing company, that kind of operational clarity is invaluable.”
