Chicago Helicopter Experience - Founded in 2011 by Trevor Heffernan

HIS JOURNEY

Trevor’s journey of starting and building successful businesses began in 2005 in the service industry. He quickly expanded his horizons, venturing into the financial management, e-commerce, and transportation industries. Throughout the years, he has gained valuable experience in identifying and capitalizing on new opportunities, developing innovative solutions, building talented teams, and growing thriving businesses.

However, it was in 2011 that Trevor truly made a name for himself with the launch of Chicago Helicopter Experience (CHE). Under his leadership, CHE grew to become a multi-million-dollar business and the largest helicopter operation in the Midwest with its own private airport located in the heart of downtown Chicago. With a fleet of helicopters and an amazing team of employees and skilled pilots, CHE was able to provide a unique and thrilling helicopter experience to over 100,000 people.

Chicago Helicopter Experience provided air tours, airport transfers, private charters and hosted private events at its downtown heliport. Trevor secured two FAA Part 135 operating certificates and is the only person to own and operate a private airport within a major U.S. city.

Unfortunately in 2020, after almost ten years of growth and success, the COVID-19 pandemic and it’s mandatory business closures brought about insurmountable setbacks for CHE, ultimately forcing it to close its doors. While this was a devastating situation, it too was a learning experience and expanded Trevor’s business knowledge and acumen.

Despite this setback, his entrepreneurial spirit remained unbroken. Trevor decided to utilize his knowledge, experience, and connections to help other entrepreneurs and business leaders achieve their goals.
