Ryellen Heliwork is very fortunate to be a family run business with Owner and Chief Pilot Ryan Jones starting the company back in 1999 as an addition to his already busy cane and cattle enterprise.  He is well supported by both his mother, Glenis Jones, and wife, Naomi Jones, in the everyday running of the business.  Glenis and Naomi are happy to take your bookings and inquiries and will facilitate you in any helicopter related matters they can.

John Nicholas has joined the team at the start of 2018.  John has spent the last 5 years flying in the Northern Territory but was born and bred on Paynes Lagoon north of Charters Towers.  John has returned to North Queensland with his family. John has significant experience in mustering, spraying and seeding, feral animal control, survey, fire fighting, slinging and general charter. 

The newest member to the team is young Mitchell Ellis Jones. He has already shown a keenness for the helicopters with daily inspection a priority and will hopefully one day take over the reins.

“We at Ryellen Heliwork are all focussed on one goal - providing quality service at a competitive price to every industry that requires a helicopter.”
