A helicopter service connecting Manhattan with New York City airports is due to start this month. On March 13 US Helicopter will introduce an eight-minute S-76B flight between the Wall Street Heliport and JFK Airport. The company will add services linking La Guardia and Newark Liberty International to Wall Street and the East 34th and 30th Street Heliports later this year. The company demonstrated the FAA-approved routes between the six points last month. According to US Helicopters CEO Jerry Murphy, all the flights and approaches will be under VFR.

TSA security checkpoints will be in operation at both heliports, and American Airlines passengers will be able to check their bags and be dropped off at the carrier’s new Terminal 9. US Helicopter is in talks for similar services with other carriers, but until they reach an agreement, their passengers will need to connect to their terminals in the normal way.
