Heliflite

HeliFlite is a private helicopter charter operator based in Kearny, New Jersey. The company says it has operated for more than 25 years. It flies dual pilot, twin engine helicopters in the Northeast and South Florida. It also lists destinations in London and San Francisco.

The fleet is built around Sikorsky S-76 and Leonardo AW139 helicopters. The company says all of its aircraft are twin engine with two pilots. The cabins are spacious and quiet, and they seat up to nine passengers. The S-76 was introduced in 1977. The AW139 has a range of 659 miles and a top speed of 190 mph. HeliFlite says it is the only east coast operator that offers the AW139 cabin for charter.

HeliFlite offers on demand point to point charter across the Northeast and South Florida. Its HeliCard membership lets members prepay for flight hours and gain priority booking, guaranteed availability and preferred rates. The company also runs corporate travel programs, aircraft management for owners, airport transfers and programs for new clients. Airport transfers start at $3,300. A flight from New York City to The Hamptons starts at $10,300. Both prices are before taxes and fees.

In the Northeast, HeliFlite flies from the West 30th Street, East 34th Street and Downtown Manhattan heliports. It also serves Teterboro, White Plains, the New York metro airports, the Hamptons, Nantucket and the Hudson Valley. The company has exclusive access to the East Hampton Executive Terminal. In South Florida, it serves the Miami Seaplane Base, Miami Opa Locka Airport, Palm Beach and The Bahamas, including Nassau, Marsh Harbour and Harbour Island. It also handles events such as the Miami Formula 1 Grand Prix.

HeliFlite's dispatchers are FAA licensed. They are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The sales team has over 30 years of experience with twin engine, cabin class helicopters. The company says its pilots have thousands of flight hours and military backgrounds. They also train in full motion simulators at least once a year, and they fly in New York City airspace.
