service helicopter company. We provide Executive Charter, Aircraft
Management. Full-time Pilot Training Services are also provided by our
sister company Palm Beach

We also provide on staff maintenance personnel.
Aircoastal was founded by our president, Mr. Boyce D. Crowe Jr. in 1981. At
that time, Mr. Crowe was a pilot with the Palm Beach County Sheriffs
Aviation Division. From February 1985 thru June 1989, Aircoastal was under
contract with Humana Lucerne Hospital to provide inter-hospital transfers
within a 150 mile radius of Orlando. During that period, Aircoastal
transported more than 3000 patients averaging some 700 hours of flight time
per year maintaining a 98.4% mission ready status. Aircoastal is presently
contracted with a local television news station, WPEC TV12 , to provide a
full-time helicopter and crew for the purpose of Electronic News Gathering.
This contract began in April of 1990 and we recently re-signed a multi-year
contract reflecting Aircoastals dedication to service.
Aircoastal presently operates 6 aircraft full-time at the Lantana Airport.
Our pilots have been awarded Bell Safety Awards for over 20,000 hours of
Accident Free flight. Our facility contains over 15,000 square feet of
workspace with a pilot briefing area capable of up to the minute radar
ensuring each pilot and flight crew of all current flight conditions.
At Aircoastal, we strive to maintain only the highest operational standards
at all times. These standards are evident by the awards received by
Aircoastal over the past few years. These include the 1983 - 1988 Golden
Hour Award for safe Aeromedical operations, Operator Safety Awards from the
Helicopter Association International along with the Bell Safety Awards
issued to our pilots for the thousands of accident free flight hours
accumulated staffwide.
