Base 4 Aviation was founded in 2001 by the Waterford Family Trust and up and till today is managed by Darryl Waterford.
The company commenced with a fleet of one Bell 407 Helicopter. She is currently in operation and seen as our flagship.
The aim was always to create a one stop helicopter business fulfilling the needs of any helicopter related issues. Since 2007 we have grown and have achieved more than we could have imagined. We have opened a Flight Academy that will assist the flying enthusiast to obtain their Private and/or Commercial Licences along with numerous ratings on larger machines. Base 4 Aerotech was also opened and assists our clients with basic line maintenance to engine overhauls. Base 4 Aviation is fully certified to operate Single and Twin Engine Helicopters.
