The TOPS Experience

Incorporated in 1996, Tour Operators Program of Safety (TOPS) was formed from the vision of four tour operators looking to hold the helicopter sightseeing industry to a higher, self-imposed safety standard, above and beyond that required by the FAA.  Today, as members of TOPS, the country’s most respected helicopter tour operators in Hawaii, Alaska, Washington, California, Arizona, Nevada, and New York have collaborated to design a safety program superior to any other in the industry.

The TOPS Experience

Passengers who travel with TOPS members can fly confidently knowing that the pilot and aircraft they are traveling with are held to the highest safety standards in the industry.

The TOPS Experience

Tour operators who become TOPS members enjoy lower insurance premiums, access to unique business opportunities and cross-company “best practice” support in strengthening their growing safety programs.
