Having family ties to the Canadian helicopter industry since the 1960's, Mike and Cindy Fleming formed Skytech Aviation Limited, a helicopter charter operation in 1988. Locating the main base of operations in Ontario, Canada, Skytech built a successful business supporting tourism, mining, hydrographic surveys and forest fire suppression. After visiting Antigua in the early 1990's, Mike noticed a potential market for helicopter tours/charters that led to the formation of Caribbean Helicopters in 1995. Today, Caribbean Helicopters provides many services to Antigua and surrounding islands such as Montserrat, St. Kitts, Nevis and others, in the form of tours, aerial photography/film work, medical evacuation and search and rescue on a Day VFR basis.
