US Helicopter succeeding where others have failed
Imagine you’re a business traveler running late after a meeting in downtown Manhattan.

Imagine you’re a business traveler running late after a meeting in downtown Manhattan. Your flight home leaves in an hour from John F. Kennedy International Airport. If you are at all familiar with the geography, you know you’ll miss it–unless, of course, you could take a helicopter from midtown to JFK and then walk straight onto your airplane.

In service since 2006, US Helicopter is the only scheduled helicopter operator in the country. The company offers regular weekday shuttle service among Manhattan, JFK and Newark Liberty International airports, and Bridgeport, Conn. Given the often nightmarish traffic that grips the New York metropolitan area, it’s no wonder the concept is catching on.
