Helicopter operations for the forestry industry.
Kitz-Air makes sure the forest stays in good shape.

In many areas of forestry, the use of helicopters has been an integral part of the industry for many years. Below are the most common applications of helicopters in forestry:

• Logging
• Removal of standing trees – “Specialty wood”
• Transport of plants, sled winches, hunting equipment usw.
• Forest firefighting
• Restoration of Protective Forests

In the past, Kitz-Air GmbH has specialized in timber hauling by helicopter. The traditional method of timber hauling, also known as helilogging, has been expanded to include what is known as “special timber.” With special timber, trees are removed piece by piece.
