Sport Helicopters was founded by the late Mr. Ernest Macdonald and his son Robert in 1990, and is today owned and managed by Robert. Mr. Macdonald, fondly known as “ELVIS”, pioneered scenic flights for tourists around the Cape Peninsula and Winelands during the mid 1980’s using single & multi engine aircraft.
Realising the need to provide a helicopter service to foreign visitors, tour operators and corporates, Mr. Macdonald established Sport Helicopters at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront with a single Bell Jetranger.
Today the Company owns and operates two 4 seat Bell Jetrangers, a 6 seat Bell Longranger, and an authentic ex Vietnam Huey Helicopter.
Sport Helicopters strives to remain the leading helicopter service provider through high standards of operations, maintenance and passenger satisfaction.
