Grupo Inaer (www.inaer.com) is the world's largest provider of emergency and mission critical on-shore helicopter services contracted on a long-term basis with public administrations. The Company has over 40 years of experience with operations in Spain, Italy, France,  The UK, Portugal, Chile, Perù and Australia.
Grupo Inaer operates the fourth largest helicopter fleet in the world with 300 aircraft as of the end of 2010, of which 178 are owned by the company. Headquartered in Alicante, Spain, the company employs more than 1,900 pilots, engineers and other staff.

At its current size, Grupo Inaer has a clear competitive advantage over its local peers:

• a large and modern fleet;
• strong bargaining power with suppliers;
• long-term public contracts giving strong visibility of earnings;
• extensive network of operating bases;
• highly trained personnel with its own flight simulator;
• own maintenance facilities operating to superior quality standards in services;
• other economies of scale such as in insurance and purchasing.

Grupo Inaer provided public clients with services including emergency medical services, fire-fighting, sea and mountain rescue, civil protection and customs surveillance. The company’s market-leading position and concession-based revenue profile has enabled Grupo Inaer to achieve consistent growth and execute on its global (pan-European) acquisition strategy in recent years.
