East Asia Airlines Limited (EAA) was established in July 1988 and Macau-Hong Kong services commenced in November 1990 by operating with two Bell 222 helicopters, providing six flights per day. Helicopters Hong Kong Limited (“HeliHK”) established in 1997, formed a partnership with EAA, to create the largest commercial helicopter operation in the Pearl River Delta Region and introduced a fleet change from Bell 222 to Sikorsky S76C+ helicopters. Subsequently, a new company name “Sky Shuttle Helicopter Ltd.” was launched in November 2008, as part of a new corporate branding exercise. In 2009 another fleet change took place when AgustaWestland AW139 helicopters were purchased by Sky Shuttle Helicopter Ltd. and East Asia Airlines to replace the aging S-76C+s.

Sky Shuttle Helicopters and EAA operated a fleet of five AgustaWestland AW139s. The helicopters carry up to twelve passengers, primarily on the 15-minute flight between Macau and Hong Kong (54 flight per day) and the 15-minute flight between Macau and Shenzhen (12 flights per day), before the COVID.

“Sky Shuttle “, as an authorized tradename of the East Asia Airlines Limited, resumes the regular scheduled flight operation on January 26th, 2024 with two AW139s. EAA continues to provide premium cross-boundary helicopter services in the China Greater Bay Area.  With the resumption of the regular schedule flight, our routes cover between Macau and Hong Kong and between Macau and Shenzhen.
