Speed. Heavy road traffic makes road vehicles second rate compared to a chopper. Thanks to air travel, helicopter is much faster at delivering passengers to their destination.
-
Small size. Helicopters are great for metropolitan areas due to their inherent vertical take-off and landing capability which requires little space. This in turn allows the chopper to land in close proximities to the pick-up and drop-off locations.
-
Safety. According to the current statistical data, road accident numbers outperform aerial accidents by a big margin. With an ever increasing frequency, customers (especially business executives) rent helicopters to ensure their safety, not taking any chances.
There are several types of helicopters, arranged by their functionality:
-
small sized helicopters. Used mostly for private trips at short distance;
-
luxury helicopters will suit the more demanding passengers who expect enhanced comfort of flight. Renting a helicopter for a wedding would demand such a chopper to make the day unforgettable;
-
bigger helicopters are needed for transfer of groups and heavy loads.
When renting a chopper, one should remember in-flight rules. Firstly, the helicopter pilot follows a strictly planned out route, stated in the flight itinerary. The total flight cost is based on the time spent to reach the destination. It can be calculated in advance with room for minor deviations. The helicopter does need a landing pad, therefore it is important to state the exact coordinates of the drop-off point.
Until recently, helicopter travel was associated with luxury, but nowadays it is a rather affordable service, ensuring fast and comfortable transportation.
