Protecting Korean FORESTs

Korea Forest Service is a government-owned company that protects Korea’s forest resources from diseases and pests. 

The Company started its operations in 1971 with only 3 small helicopters in its arsenal. The Government concluded that KFS was no longer capable to effectively respond to wildfire, and invested in it’s development. 

Today KFS is the largest forest aviation service provider in the country operating 46 helicopters.

Korea Forest Service is protecting the public and national properties from various natural disasters and accidents, including wildfire, forest diseases and pests, natural disasters and distress. 

Government chooses S4GA for Helipads Equipment
