Pick-up point, landing site, date, time and number of passengers.
The closest suitable helicopter keeps positioning, and the price, down.
Each site needs a safe approach, a suitable surface and permission.
Flying hours, positioning, waiting, permissions and taxes, each shown.
Hiring a helicopter in India costs the helicopter’s hourly rate times the billed flying hours, plus positioning from its base, waiting time, landing permissions and GST, so each trip is quoted on its own.
Per flying hour, with the full trip quoted as a total that adds positioning, waiting and permissions to the flying hours.
Usually because of positioning, the flying needed to bring the helicopter from its base to you and back, which is billed like any other flying hour.
Yes, per hour a single-engine helicopter costs less, but some routes, landing sites and conditions call for a twin.
Yes, the price is for the whole helicopter, so the cost per person falls as more seats are filled, up to its passenger and weight limits.
A helicopter charter is priced like a private jet charter, with a few differences that matter more for helicopters. You pay for the whole helicopter and its crew, by the flying hour. The rate depends mostly on the type: a single-engine helicopter costs less per hour than a twin-engine one.
Positioning is the biggest surprise on a helicopter quote. Helicopters are slow compared with planes, so bringing one from a base 200 km away can add close to an hour of flying each way. A helicopter based near your pick-up point usually gives the lowest price.
Many operators also set a minimum number of billed hours per day. A 20-minute hop can still be billed as a longer block. Waiting time on the ground, overnight stays for the crew, landing permissions at private sites and GST are added on top.
That is why we quote each trip on its own rather than publish one rate. Share your pick-up point, landing site, date and group size, and the quote lists every part of the price.
