Key Trends Fueling Growth

• Alliance between helicopter operators and resorts: 
• The commercial helicopter industry is set to see a surge in joint business operations and partnerships. Like airlines, helicopter operators are teaming up with hospitality providers such as resorts and tourism firms to offer perks to passengers. This strategy helps raise awareness of their services and boost yearly earnings.
• For instance, the Palazzo Resort in Las Vegas has teamed up with a private helicopter company to offer Grand Canyon rides to guests. Similarly, Dezaiko Lodge partnered with Aberdeen Helicopters in Canada. Alpine Helicopters has had a longstanding partnership with Canadian Mountain Holidays for 35 years.
• Even emerging businesses like global taxi apps are getting in on the action, with US-based Uber launching UberCHOPPER, allowing users to book helicopter rides. These partnerships offer tourists convenience while driving up helicopter companies’ revenues. With more partnerships on the horizon, the tourism market for helicopters is set to grow, benefiting both resorts and helicopter firms.

Major Challenges:

• Cost-intensive tours
• Helicopter tours cost more than other transport options like cars or coaches, making them too expensive for budget travelers. Prices typically range from $200 to $250 per hour, plus a mandatory heliport fee of $35 to $50 per person. Even in emerging economies, low-cost helicopter rides can be around $15 for a 15 to 20-minute flight.
• Additional fees may apply for passengers weighing over 250 or 275 lbs. In the US, Manhattan Helicopters offers various tours: Classic Manhattan for $234 (12-15 minutes), Deluxe Manhattan for $284 (18-20 minutes), and VIP Manhattan for $360 (25-30 minutes), all inclusive of heliport fees.
• Similarly, Elite Helicopter Tours in Los Angeles charges $160–$450 per person for rides lasting 30-90 minutes. Niagara Helicopters, providing tours of Niagara Falls, offers high fares, mainly appealing to luxury travelers.
