Helicopter Express of Chamblee, Georgia is to take delivery of a K-MAX helicopter from Kaman Aerospace. Helicopter Express currently operates 24 aircraft providing dedicated services in heavy lifting, utility construction, firefighting and disaster relief. The company placed its order in May and will take delivery of its new K-MAX in December of 2019.

“We started in 1995 with the vision of building a versatile helicopter company that offers a broad range of services to the southeast and has continued to evolve and become a trusted leader in the industry,” says founder, president and CEO Scott Runyan. “Expanding our fleet with a third K-MAX is an important step to tackle our clients' ever-changing needs.”

This Helicopter Express aircraft brings anticipated deliveries in the fourth quarter to three, for a total of four aircraft deliveries in 2019. We are thrilled that the K-MAX continues to be the choice for external lift applications that require the need for precise, efficient and cost-effective operations.”
