We are happy to announce that we will have a new simulator in our Helsinki base.
Our new simulator is a TRU Full-Flight Simulator for the AW169. It will arrive this year! With it, we’ll be able to provide training also for AW169 pilots!
We will start the assembly in the upcoming months.
Stay posted for more information!
We are happy to announce that on the 18th of May, after the short time of limited operations, Coptersafety is returning to being fully operational. As the governments around the world are starting to loosen up the restrictions, we’re preparing to fully reopen as well. Initially, the business travel restrictions are lifted regarding the Schengen countries. You can find the Finnish Border control info on their SITE.
We’re, however, aware that the fight with the virus worldwide is far from over. And as safety is at the core of our business, we want you to know that we’ll be taking all of the necessary precautions to minimize the risk and to keep our customers and employees protected.
We’re taking an extra measure to follow the World Health Organization’s hygiene guidelines, and throughout cleaning and disinfecting our simulators and facilities daily. We put special effort into our shared areas such as briefing rooms, lounge, and bathrooms.
All of our employees are encouraged to stay at home as much as possible to avoid the spread of the virus. Even if wearing face masks is not obligatory in Finland, we strongly recommend and encourage it.
We are ready to provide you all of the training types. Please be in touch with our Head of Sales Hannu and our Training Admin Krista for more information about our offers and schedules.
We will keep monitoring the situation worldwide and inform you immediately in case any changes are required.

The overall difficult situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and following governmental restrictions around the world, with huge impact especially on travel industry, have both affected the ability to arrive to and depart from Coptersafety.
Despite our best efforts to keep going, due to minimal numbers of pilots arriving to train at our base in the past weeks, Coptersafety is temporarily closing its operations until further notice. The closure will last for as long as there is no guarantee that pilots can arrive to Helsinki for their training.
Meanwhile we’re staying positive, continue to monitor the updates of Coronavirus quarantine and preparing to reopen the facilities within a few days after the travel bans are lifted and traveling is possible again.
Our Sales Director Hannu Marjoniemi (hannu.marjoniemi@coptersafety.com) and Training Administrator Krista Soini (krista.soini@coptersafety.com) are happy to answer any questions and inquiries you might have.
On behalf of all of the Coptersafety employees, I thank you for your support and understanding, both in the good and now the difficult times that we’re experiencing.
Please take a good care of yourselves and stay safe!
Erkka Suvikumpu
CEO of Coptersafety
