Grand Canyon Helicopters Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopters (Papillon Airways INC)
Holds an FAA charter and air-taxi certificate (Part 135) under the designator PG9A, overseen by the FAA office coded WP19. 39 aircraft are listed on the certificate, mostly EC-130-B4. Based in Boulder City, Nevada, where it registers its own aircraft.
The Department of Transportation certificates it for interstate scheduled passenger service, trading as Grand Canyon Helicopters Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopters; the DOT's list says it is operating. The DOT's economic authority is separate from the FAA's safety certificate: both are needed to sell seats or cargo space to the public.
