ECO-STAR VS. OTHER HELICOPTERS
The ECO-Star (EC-130) made by American Eurocopter is the safest and most comfortable tourism based helicopter in the world. Maverick Aviation Group has the largest fleet of ECO-Star helicopters in the world.

While drastically limiting flight noise over the Grand Canyon, the Eco-Star also lavishes you in luxurious comfort and offers breathtaking wraparound views like no other helicopter.

Amazing equipment, first class tours, experienced pilots and top-notch customer service are all available with Maverick.


Seating and Windows
The ECO-Star features a 23% larger cabin than the common A-Star model and seats seven passengers. Wraparound windows through the interior of the helicopter provide superior external visibility for guests aboard the ECO-Star.
Tail Section
The low noise Fenestron Tail Rotor reduces outside noise by 50%; making the customer experience greater and limiting the effects on nature’s habitats. This unique styling to the tail rotor is unique to the ECO-Star.
