CITIC Offshore Helicopter is a leading enterprise in China’s general aviation industry, possessing full business operation qualifications and capabilities. It provides comprehensive general aviation development services, including offshore oil flight services, emergency rescue, general aviation maintenance, port piloting, offshore wind power, onshore flights and drone flights. It is the first and only main-board listed company in China’s general aviation industry.
In 2025, CITIC Offshore Helicopter focused on expanding into the emerging field of the low-altitude economy and actively provided services for China National Offshore Oil Corporation’s deep-sea strategy. It operated a total of 87 helicopters and three large fixed-wing drones, with cumulative annual flight hours exceeding 53,000, comprehensively strengthening its safety management defences. 
Constructed new scenarios for the low-altitude economy. CITIC Offshore Helicopter led the industry in the operation of large drones and eVTOLs. It successfully completed offshore pilot flight missions for large eVTOLs, marking the world’s first 2-tonne eVTOL material transport for offshore oil platforms. It also smoothly completed cross-city logistics test flights for large eVTOLs in Anhui Province and will continue to deepen commercial exploration of branch-line low-altitude logistics.
Explored new business in the low-altitude economy. CITIC Offshore Helicopter successfully introduced and operated large fixed-wing drones specifically for weather modification, becoming an important participant in the field of weather modification and supporting drone-based cloud dispersal and rainfall enhancement operations in regions such as Xinjiang and Yunnan.
Created new models for the low-altitude economy. CITIC Offshore Helicopter participated in the construction of the national aviation emergency rescue system, achieving continuous breakthroughs in the integrated “helicopter+drone” operational model for emergency rescue. It also strengthened cooperative relationships with local governments in Sichuan, Shenzhen and Hefei, establishing low-altitude economy development models that align with operational and practical application needs.
