Timeline

2010
This is the year I decided to go for my helicopter licence – a commercial one, to make it a full-time job. Before that, I had spent more than 10 years in engineering, as a lead technician in low-voltage installations, audio & telecom.

2012
This is where I started RondvluchtHelikopter.nl, to provide people with information and the ability to book flights online. 🎉

2014
My first full-time job, in Thailand: wonderful flying over Bangkok and the surrounding area.

2016
The next challenge was in Germany, where I flew the EC135 helicopter for the offshore wind farm industry.

2017
This year, 123Helikoptervluchten saw the light of day as RondvluchtHelikopter.nl ran into limitations. The offer grew, and sales grew with it. 🎉

2019
Halfway through this year, I started flying the AW139 from England to the oil rigs. Later that same year, I started flying from West Africa, also to the oil rigs. Meanwhile, wherever I am, with an internet connection and a laptop, I run 123Helikoptervluchten 🙂

2021
Expansion: a web developer and online marketer have joined 123Helikoptervluchten. Beautiful and challenging creations are coming, in early 2022 we hope to launch a new website for 123Helikoptervluchten. After that, we hope to launch other online businesses, stay tuned!

2022
Still working in West Africa. 4 weeks there and then 4 weeks off in the Netherlands, at home with my family.

Future goals

spending more time with my wife and children – after 3 boys, a daughter is now on the way! 🥳
fly to the moon, preferably with overnight stay 🚀
losing weight and getting a six-pack (of Heineken) 💪
launching other online platforms as an entrepreneur – and my goal as a pilot is still a secret 😉

2023
September: we are heading for sales growth of >60% compared with last year, partly because the revamped website has now been rock solid for almost 2 years. We are very happy with that. But we are not there yet. I still see opportunities and room for improvement everywhere, and step by step they are all being implemented. All for a better experience!

2024
October: turnover has already exceeded that of the whole of last year, so the growth continues nicely. This month we also introduced our new logo. The old logo was mainly aimed at the consumer market, but in recent years more and more business assignments have come in, so we now have a logo that appeals to both private and business customers. We hope you like it 🙂
