Central Helicopter Service, Inc.

Central Helicopter Service, Inc. was conceived in April 1992 based on the premise that helicopters save lives and provide solutions not attainable through any other means.

Owner Douglas Warren Kingsbury moved to Houston, Texas in 1953 and has been an active member of the Houston business community for over 45 years.

CHS is a Federal Aviation Administration certified Part 135 Operator. The operation is based at the South Ramp of William P. Hobby Airport in Houston, Texas.

Our turbine powered helicopters are practical for long hauls, out-of-ground hovering for power line & chemical plant inspections. We routinely remove doors to facilitate wide-angle video and still photography. We are equipped for offshore work such as: lightering, crew change, inspector/VIP transportation and supply deliveries (see customer list).

We enjoy what we do. We care about our customers and our aircraft and are here to provide solutions. Helicopters are expensive to buy and to operate, so if our prices seem high… please first check our competition, then let us show you what value you receive when you fly with CHS. We do ongoing preventative maintenance and pay attention to details. After all… your life is in our hands!

We are dedicated to giving you what you want: safety, solutions & value.
