History

Heli-TV SA, whose headquarters are in the southern area of the vast and varied complex of the Lodrino airfield, which has had such importance in the history and social-economic development of the country since about the middle of the last century; is a company born from the ambition and entrepreneurship of Giovanni Frapolli, with the aim of solving the problems related to all types of transport.

Today it is a company that deals with helicopter transport and in this context, it undoubtedly occupies a privileged and leading position in the dislocation of goods, in the assembly of power lines and prefabricated houses, in logging operations, in cutting trees in agglomerates, as well as in all those fields in which the use of the helicopter proves not only useful, but often indispensable.

Heli-TV SA is a company founded in the late 70s in the canton of Fribourg and purchased in 1984 by Giovanni Frapolli and since then experienced, first at the Lugano-Agno airport and from 1994, subsequently at the military airport of Lodrino, a very strong expansion in Ticino and north of the Alps, becoming a leading air transport company.

Heli-TV SA has incessantly cultivated its two main objectives during all its years of activity:

• The training of young local pilots and Task Specialis Operators specialized in aerial work, from the city to the high mountains.

• Total independence from competing companies, aimed at finding the right price, and the best customer support

These objectives are always pursued with tenacity and dynamism. Currently Heli-TV SA employs about forty full-time collaborators and about ten auxiliaries; who periodically follow regular refresher courses in order to carry out their task with competence and professionalism.
