Oceanview Helicopters Ltd
Third-party FBO aggregator (FlightAware) lists a fuel contact at CYPW under the name "Ocean View Helicopter" with a Jet A price near $1.62 recorded in 2021 and no 100LL price shown (an earlier draft mistakenly read this Jet A figure as a 100LL price); that listing's contact differs from Oceanview Helicopters' own published contact, and a separate aggregator (fltplan.com) currently shows CYPW fuel as unstocked under yet another FBO phone line, so the identity of today's fuel seller and current pricing are not confirmed for Oceanview specifically.
