Who owns Maverick helicopters?

Maverick Helicopters is operated by Maverick Aviation Group, a privately held aviation company based in Las Vegas that also operates Maverick Airlines and tours in multiple US and international destinations. Their Hawaii operations cover Maui and Kauai. The company is known for operating ECO-Star helicopters with their distinctive no-middle-seat configuration — six passengers per aircraft in a spacious, stadium-style seating arrangement. Maverick entered the Hawaii market as a premium alternative to established operators like Blue Hawaiian, and they've grown to be a leading operator on both Maui and Kauai. Their Hana Rainforest landing package, where guests actually disembark into an inaccessible rainforest clearing, is a unique product no other Maui operator offers. For reviews and pricing of their Maui tours, see our dedicated Maverick Helicopters page.
