Heliskiing in Turkey on Hold

After seven years of operation in Turkey, the Turkish Civil Aviation Authority has decided to impose a disproportionate tax on foreign helicopters used for heliskiing.  Consequently it is no longer economically viable for our friends at Turkey Heliski to continue operating whilst maintaining the same levels of safety and professionalism that have been integral to their operation. What the future holds for heliskiing in Turkey is uncertain.
