Helicopter sightseeing has been one of the attractions in Niagara Falls, Ontario since the early 1960s. The first Niagara Helicopters operated a large flight training school in the 1960s and 1970s were low time students would build time flying tourists in Bell 47s. Today's Niagara Helicopters began as PanAir Helicopter Services which was bought by Reudi Hafen in the mid-1980s. Hafen sold the company to Helicopter Transportation Services in 2012, which introduced four EC 130 T2s in 2015 for its nine-minute sightseeing flights over The Falls. Six new Airbus H130s were ordered in February 2024.
