Covid Couldn't Stop Direct Helicopter's Shipping Business
While people may not have been traveling the globe over the past year due to the Covid pandemic, used helicopters certainly were.
Among the approximately 150 helicopter shipping jobs handled by Direct Helicopter last year was this Sikorsky S-76D, which was transported from the Far East to Africa. "If you are going to send a S-76D model, that is a serious piece of equipment," said company CEO Dave Urban. "When you're paying me to air freight it, it better go well." (Photo: Direct Helicopter)
