Our Journey So Far

2007

HAC TAKES THE SKIES

Founded in 2007, Halsted's Aviation Corporation started with a fleet of 4 aircraft which quickly grew into the dozens.

2010

FIRST BLACKHAWK CONVERSION IN ZIMBABWE

We always chase the next big upgrade, whether its mechanical, software, crew or training. But in 2010 we were the first agency in Zimbabwe to fit Black hawk conversion kits on our aircraft.
