10 Reasons to Choose Glacier Aviation Services
When booking your Glacier National Park helicopter tour or Whitefish scenic flight, here’s why thousands of visitors trust Glacier Aviation Services.
- Newest Aircraft in the Area
We fly the modern MD 520N – one of the most advanced light helicopters in the world. You get the latest safety and performance technology on every flight. - State-of-the-Art MD 520N Helicopter
Equipped with NOTAR (no tail rotor) technology, fully articulated rotor system, and smooth, quiet performance. The MD 520N is trusted by military units and law enforcement agencies worldwide for its reliability and safety. - Best Seat in the Sky for Every Passenger
Unlike traditional helicopters, your 4th passenger rides in the front seat with unobstructed panoramic views – no middle-seat compromises. - Smoother & Safer Ride
The MD 520N’s advanced rotor system eliminates the risk of mast bumping. The internal NOTAR design also improves safety on the ground and reduces noise. - Highly Experienced Leadership
Our Chief Pilot holds the FAA’s highest rating – Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate – plus a First Class Medical. - Quietest Helicopter for Wildlife & Visitors
The MD 520N has one of the smallest noise footprints in its class. This means less disturbance to wildlife and a more peaceful experience for everyone enjoying Glacier National Park. - Real-Time Satellite Tracking
Every flight is monitored via Spider Tracks satellite system for added safety and peace of mind. - Convenient Departure Locations
Fly from Whitefish Airport (near town amenities), Glacier International Airport (FCA), or our base in West Glacier – whichever is closest to you. - Unique Routes You Can’t Reach by Car
Our custom tours take you deeper into the backcountry – including remote glaciers, dramatic peaks, and hidden valleys most visitors never see. We fly smarter routes with better views and fewer restrictions. - Respectful of the Park & Other Visitors
We deliberately avoid noise-sensitive areas and minimize “blade slap” over popular spots like Logan Pass. Great flying means being good neighbors too.
