Helicopters are the fastest, most convenient, and most luxurious way to get around in today’s world. At Execflyer, we deal with hundreds of requests for helicopter charter each year and have seen a sharp increase in the number of day trips by helicopter.
Jamie Dickson at Execflyer stated “More and more people are utilising the speed and convenience of helicopters as the value they place on time increases. People don’t want to sit around on congested roads that have become commonplace in today’s cities and towns. Helicopters allow them to fit more in to their day, and bypass the hassles of ground based transport”.
