Helicopter Charters

Helicopters are about access. A private helicopter lifts off vertically, skips the runway, and lands close to your final address—at a heliport, hotel pad, stadium LZ, or permitted private site. For short to medium trips, that door-to-door speed often beats any car-plus-airport plan. You set the route and Departure time, and we build the flight around your schedule.

Quick Facts for your Helicopter flight

• Best for: Helicopters are ideal for fast city hops, resort transfers, and remote access when proximity matters most.
• Range: Nonstop reach is roughly 350 miles. City-to-airport transfers are measured in minutes; Manhattan to JFK is about ten to fifteen minutes depending on routing and permissions.
• Luggage: Plan on an overnight bag per person plus a few shared items. Soft-sided bags load best, and capacity varies by aircraft within this category.
• Cabin: Upright seating with headsets for clear conversation, with VIP interiors available on many twin-engine models.
• Seating and layout: Four to six seats are typical, with some twin-engine models offering more.
• Speed: Typical cruise speed is 130 to 170 mph. Short urban legs are significantly faster than driving.
• Quick recommendation: Choose a helicopter when the last mile is the bottleneck. Choose a jet for higher cruise speeds over longer distances.

Is a Helicopter Right for My Trip?

Choose a helicopter charter when ground traffic is the problem or the Destination is off the beaten path. If your mission is under a few hundred miles—or split across several short legs—a helicopter keeps travel simple and predictable. It also shines as the last-mile link to a long-haul jet, cutting transfer times at large airports. If you need to cover long distances at high speed, a light or midsize jet will be faster in cruise. For bigger groups, consider a turboprop shuttle or a heavy jet. When you want a residential cabin for 15-50 guests, VIP airliners are another option. We'll help you compare all three so the aircraft fits the mission.

Private Helicopter Charter: When Helicopters Make the Most Sense

Book a charter helicopter when timing is tight and proximity matters: city-to-city meetings, event shuttles, resort transfers, and site visits. You avoid highway delays, security lines, and long terminal walks. You also control the ground plan at each stop. Helicopters also solve access problems. Construction sites, remote lodges, islands, yachts, and mountain towns are reachable with the right permits and a safe landing zone. Our Team surveys the site, coordinates permissions, and sequences the day so every leg runs on time.

Best Missions for Helicopter Charter: City Hops, Resort Transfers & Remote Access

Urban hops save hours on busy days. Downtown-to-airport shuttles keep your itinerary on track, and conference shuttles move speakers and teams between venues without clogging the schedule. Leisure trips benefit as well. Helicopters connect airports to ski resorts, golf courses, vineyards, and coastal hotels in a single lift. For field work—energy, real estate, film scouting—they provide a stable platform to inspect sites and reach places trucks can't.

How Much Luggage Can You Bring on a Charter Helicopter?

Packing light pays off. Baggage holds are compact and door sizes vary by model, so soft-sided duffels are best. As a rule of thumb, plan for an overnight bag per person, plus a few shared items, but tell us early about skis, golf clubs, camera rigs, or instruments so we can match the right aircraft. Weight and balance matter on rotorcraft. We'll confirm passenger weights, gear dimensions, and fuel needs, then set the load plan. If the numbers are tight, we can add a quick fuel stop or position a second helicopter for baggage support.

Heliports, Landing Sites & Logistics for Helicopter Charter

Helicopters use heliports, hospital pads, private estates (with permission), and temporary landing zones set up for events. Some locations have curfews, noise rules, or daytime-only restrictions. We handle site surveys, permits, and coordination with local authorities to keep everything compliant and safe. Weather planning matters. Many helicopters are flown under visual rules, though some twin-engine models are IFR-capable. We'll watch ceilings, visibility, wind, and temperature, then build in alternates or ground transport if needed. The goal is a smooth, predictable day—even when the weather changes.
