Company Profile
 

Our beautiful image


''Here you can admire our interns who perform the following tasks: receptionist, hostess and safety crew (all in one). They are mostly Dutch interns and they stay with us for about 5 months. Without these enthusiastic girls we wouldn't be able to give you the service and safety we provide. They are the image of the company because you see their friendly faces first when you visit Blue Skies. They help you in and out of the helicopter in a charming fashion. 
Don't forget to ask them to make a group photograph as a memento in front of the helicopter.''
  
 
Blue Skies Helicopters has been established by a group of friends. Karel Bronsgeest (Diligence), Gerrit Malipaard (MTS Euro Products), Fred Hoek (Norfresh), and Tony Dugarte have combined their individual strengths in Business, Marketing, Networking, Helicopter Maintenance and Aviation to create a versatile and efficient Helicopter Company. They combine a healthy business sense with the philosophy that working is fun. Hence the Credo: ''Laboro ab voluptas'' (Hint: See our motto on the Home Page).
 
Karel, Gerrit and Fred have been friends for decades and all three are self-made men. They started their businesses separately and created personal empires which all became success stories. Now they start businesses for fun. And what can be more exciting than a helicopter company?

Tony is our Latino connection. (This sounds like a mob contact, but Tony is one the most trustworthy latino's we know). With his father he also runs the biggest family-owned helicopter company (of 55 years) of South America in Caracas. He started the Airborne Law Enforcement operation on Aruba in 2002, which still runs satisfactorily.
