Helicopter Services Inc. Delivers New H125 Mosquito Control Aircraft
Helicopter Services Inc. (HSI) recently announced fulfillment of completion services for the East Baton Rouge agency’s new Airbus H125 helicopter, which will help protect residents in that heavily populated portion of Louisiana from mosquito-borne hazards.
“Aircraft such as this new delivery H125 for the East Baton Rouge program are a real game changer for health and safety of the public,” says HSI General Manager Mike Crossland. “Combining a very modern equipment complement along with the precision of helicopter aerial application methods brings many advantages over prior fixed-wing delivery platforms.”
The East Baton Rouge aircraft completion is another of several aerial mosquito control helicopters that HSI delivered in 2024.
Other aerial application agencies such as Florida Keys Mosquito Control District have chosen HSI for turn-key services on new aircraft. Airborne public safety agencies along with private owners also rely on the company.
HSI keeps in close contact with clients during and after each aircraft project to ensure maximum effective outcomes.

Key to this service is HSI’s one vendor/one stop comprehensive service level easing communication during the completion process. “Thanks to our experienced in-house team, change orders occur via a simplified, direct process, reducing project time and improving effectiveness.”
HSI offers high quality completion and service offerings across airframes from Airbus, Bell, MD Helicopters and Robinson aircraft.
