Film Crew

Experts who know the skies like the back of their hands

  • Footage only possible with helicopters

    Nakanihon Air Service is an expert in taking aerial footage using helicopters.
    They are great at producing dynamic footage, combining high-speed, low-speed, and stationary flight (hovering).
    Helicopters can fly over wider areas and longer times compared to drones, and take footage from higher altitudes.
    We recommend availing this option when requesting footage taken from above the city center or at night, as these cannot be achieved with drones.

  • Over 50 years worth of knowledge and flight experience

    Nakanihon Air Service was founded in 1953, and boasts the third-longest history among Japanese airlines, along with a top-class track record.
    Nakanihon Air Service is fully equipped with the latest equipment specialized for aerial shoots, along with its highly experienced crew.
    A veteran company with plenty of experience, also involved in shoots for movies and TV dramas.

  • Nationwide Aerial Photography Network

    Nakanihon Air Service currently owns 64 helicopters and 8 airplanes (as of April 2018).
    The only airline in Japan to offer aerial photography services, it has aircraft and equipment ready at its bases nationwide, with an extensive service system that covers everywhere from Hokkaido to Okinawa.
    This reduces navigation loss and allows filming services at amazing cost performance.
