This 1982 Bell JetRanger was imported by Huisson Aviation Ltd. of Timmins, ON in 1987. Hussion Aviation was acquired by Luc Pilon who formed his first helicopter company in 1976 and later established Helicopter Transportation Services Corp (HTSC) with its headquarters in Carp, ON, bases in many parts of Canada, and a US-based sister company in Aurora, Oregon. HTSC bought Niagara Helicopters from Reudi Hafen in late 2011 and replaced its five Bell 407s with four Airbus EC 130 T2s in 2015 for its nine-minute sightseeing flights. Niagara has also operated JetRanger C-GJWL since January 2023.

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.
