Maverick Helicopters, one of the largest aviation-based tourism companies in the world, was founded in 1995 by an entrepreneurial couple with one helicopter and a vision to create a company that would provide a true VIP-level experience not previously offered in the helicopter industry. Maverick Helicopters' commitment to customer service is matched only by its commitment to safety. It currently holds the industry’s top safety record and has received numerous Diamond Awards of Excellence from the Federal Aviation Administration. This achievement signifies the company's ongoing dedication to maintenance training and aircraft safety. The founder, a former pilot, knows the importance of maintaining quality and is hands-on in defining operational safety values to surpass industry standards.
