The heart of every one of our missions here at Helinet has always been about giving back to our community. We were thrilled to demonstrate this commitment recently at the Van Nuys Airport Santa Fly-In. In collaboration with the Westchester Family YMCA, the Mid Valley Family YMCA, and local aviation businesses and organizations, LAWA (Los Angeles World Airports), was able to bring together over 500 attendees of all ages for a day of festivity, joy, philanthropy, and community engagement.

With a special appearance from Santa Claus himself, Helinet’s DHL helicopter served as his sleigh, taking a break from our standard package deliveries to bring some holiday cheer to those in our community. This festive initiative went beyond the joyous event, contributing to local toy drives and making a positive impact on those in need.

Teaming up with our community partners allowed us to extend our reach, creating a shared experience that went beyond the excitement of aviation. Helinet's role in the Santa Fly-In wasn't just about showcasing our aircraft; it was about enjoying the holiday season together as a community. The added benefit of supporting local toy drives enhanced the festive spirit and reinforced our commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
