HTM Helicopter

What HTM Helicopter does

HTM Helicopter (operating as HTM Group) is a Munich-based helicopter services provider founded in 1997, offering an integrated portfolio covering flight operations, maintenance (CAMO), development, and specialized component retrofitting. The company serves four primary verticals: Public Security (helicopter operations, maintenance, and consulting for police and military), Offshore Wind (crew transfer, winch operations, training and consulting since 2009), Industrial/Commercial (charter flights, cargo, dangerous goods transport, assembly flights, and pilot training), and Emergency Services (ambulance and intensive care transport, stroke intervention, alpine and offshore rescue, and disaster response). The company's underlying technology includes EASA Part-CAMO continuing airworthiness management capabilities and EASA Part-145 maintenance organization certification, supplemented by in-house engineering capabilities for custom helicopter component development and retrofitting. HTM generates revenue through professional services contracts with government agencies and enterprise clients (such as EnBW for offshore wind), using a direct B2B enterprise sales motion with quote-based pricing, complemented by a dedicated charter portal (htm-charter.com) for consumer-facing passenger transport. The company is privately held, employs 11-50 people, and operates primarily in the DACH region.

Product overview

HTM Helicopter operates as a comprehensive helicopter services provider offering an integrated portfolio of services centered around helicopter operations, maintenance, development, and specialized component retrofitting. The company provides four core service areas: Security Services (partnering with police and military), Offshore Services (crew transfer, winch operations, and training), Industry Services (charter, cargo, assembly flights), and Emergency Services (ambulance, disaster response). A key differentiator is the CAMO (Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation) service for fleet management and the in-house development capabilities for specialized retrofits.
