A US Air National Guard C130 lands at Summit Camp

CPS coordinates aircraft support ranging from military "heavy-lift" airplanes, to commercial helicopters and small bush planes. We also provide trucks, snowmachines, all-terrain vehicles and boats. In addition to moving personnel, CPS can transport cargo to and from virtually any field location.

Note: CH2M HILL Polar Services requires that all researchers using CPS-chartered aircraft to have emergency survival gear and a satellite phone on-board. You can carry your own equipment, or CPS can assist in providing these items.
