With the scale and visibility of the World Cup, execution matters.

New York rotary operator Wings Air Helicopters, in partnership with its Florida-based sister company Wave Helicopters, has outlined its role supporting aerial broadcast and specialised flight operations for the FIFA World Cup 2026.

Engaged through international broadcast partners, the companies will deliver aerial broadcast services, including precision filming, dynamic tracking and support for live production environments. Their scope includes the execution and coordination of aerial operations across designated host markets in tightly controlled airspace.

This engagement reflects a select group of aviation providers entrusted with supporting critical broadcast operations in key regions, including New York and south Florida.

“With the scale and visibility of the World Cup, execution matters,” says Javier Diaz, founder of Wings Air Helicopters. “Our team is built for high-performance environments where precision, safety and reliability are essential.”

With over two decades of experience spanning live broadcasts, film production and mission-critical aviation, Wings Air Helicopters brings proven capability to complex, high-tempo operations.

Together, Wings Air Helicopters and Wave Helicopters provide coordinated coverage across multiple host markets, reinforcing their position as trusted partners for high-profile aerial broadcast missions.
