Jannie and Theresa Swart took over Bateleur Helicopters as new owners in 2018. Jannie woke up one morning and told Theresa that he wants to buy a Helicopter, not sure what to do with it, but he was crystal clear that he wants a Helicopter. A few years later, after making that decision, they were in the position where they are now, to live a dream that came true.
I’m employed by Bateleur Helicopters doing Scenic Flights and Specialized Photography Flights.
I’m living my dream of Flying Helicopters, making it my passion to fly our customers safely and efficiently and providing excellent service.
My name is Florence Beffa. Growing up in a small mountain town in Switzerland, I spent my childhood immersed in nature. This connection to the natural world developed my passion for helicopter flying and photography in later years. Nature has always felt like home, and I deeply care about mother nature’s beauties.
My love for photography has helped me keep my sense of wonder for the simple things in life and I love to share those passions with my passengers
I have been with the company for almost 7 years, I am the Chief Pilot as well as the person responsible for ensuring that our helicopter fleet maintenance is kept to a high standard.
I love my occupation and have a huge passion for Helicopters. Everyone should experience the freedom of a helicopter flight at least once in their lifetime.
My speciality is aerial works which include game capture and aerial photography and filming.
