In his new role, Hill will lead and oversee all facets of fixed wing jet and helicopter air service operating standards and commercial development, with the support of a highly qualified management team.

“Rick’s industry experience gives Helijet a tremendous advantage over other carriers,” said Sitnam. “Rick’s new role will channel his expertise for integrating operational and commercial standards within Helijet. That means keeping our high standard of safety; all the while further improving our already high level of customer service for our travelling clients.”
