DAP Helicopteros is a Helicopter operator based in Punta Arenas, Chile. It operates scheduled and charter services in the southern Patagonia area, and also operates flights on behalf of the state-owned oil company, ENAP. Its main base is Carlos Ibanez Del Campo International Airport, Punta Arenas.
History
The airline is the helicopter division of Aerovias DAP which was established in 1979 and is wholly owned by the Pivcevic family. Its name DAP is the acronym of its creator, Domingo Andrés Pivcevic, a Punta Arenas businessman.
Fleet
DAP helicopteros fleet comprises:
- 4 Eurocopter AS-355F Twinstar for off-shore petrol ops,
- 5 Eurocopter Bo105CB-4 for EMS operations; three are based at Santiago-Lo Aguirre helipad while one is based at punta Arenas and the remainder in Antarctica.
- 1 Eurocopter EC-135 (to be operated by DAP Helicópteros Argentina SA)
The recent agreement between DAP and Chile's oil Company (ENAP, Empresa Nacional del Petroleo) implied the renovation of the helicopters currently in use.
