About Austcopters
Austcopters was formed in 1993 melding the skills of experienced pilot Lindsay Snell and transport industry pioneer, Kim Miller of Miller's Transport Pty Ltd. Although relatively youthful, Austcopters quickly achieved an enviable reputation within the aviation industry and still continues to set benchmarks in aviation.
