Preferred helicopters for helicopter airport transfer
Airbus H125
Single-engine6 pax · 136 kts · 340 nm
The H125 (formerly AS350 B3) is the world’s most-used charter and utility single. Hot-and-high capable, doors-off rated, and the global standard for gyro-stabilised film work — from alpine ski lifts to Caribbean photography flights.
Airbus H130
Single-engine7 pax · 128 kts · 327 nm
The H130 wraps the H125 powertrain in a wider, quieter cabin with panoramic windows — the dominant aircraft for premium scenic tours and short luxury transfers across the Mediterranean and Gulf.
Airbus H145
Light twin10 pax · 130 kts · 351 nm
The H145 is the European workhorse for VIP twin-engine charter: IFR-equipped, quiet fenestron tail rotor, and a near-stand-up cabin. The default choice for hop-flights into city helipads and offshore platforms.
Leonardo AW109 GrandNew
Light twin6 pax · 153 kts · 450 nm
The AW109 GrandNew is a fast light twin with retractable gear and executive interiors. Leonardo publishes up to 6 passengers, a 153 kt maximum cruise and a 450 nm maximum range with auxiliary fuel tanks and no reserve; real legs are shorter and the operator confirms each one.

Frequently asked
Where does the helicopter pick me up at the airport?
Pickups happen at the FBO (private terminal). Your operator coordinates with the handler so you walk straight from the jet door to the helicopter without re-entering the terminal.
How much luggage can I bring on a helicopter transfer?
Light twins like the H145 carry 200–250 kg of luggage comfortably. For larger volumes, a baggage-only second rotation or a slick-loaded H145 is the usual workaround.
What happens if my jet lands late?
Share your flight number or tail number in the request so the operator can follow your arrival. How a delay is handled, and whether waiting time is charged, depends on the operator's terms, crew duty limits and landing slots, and is set out in the proposal.
