Well that sucks. Sorry to see them go. There are some good folks working over there. Seems the helicopter airline idea just cannot be sustained in New York... Come to think of it, I think there are only two scheduled helicopter airlines that I know of in the world:
HeliJet in British Columbia
Copterline in Finland/Estonia
Any others?
I don't know much about their loads and such, but I would honestly have thought that there would be enough business for them to keep their choppers flying full.....businessmen getting a high off of skipping the Long Island Expressway to get to their flight...not only to the airport, but airside as well. Considering that a car service can rise well above $50 for airport service, their ticket prices of $180 I think, weren't that bad.
But even if they were flying full, who knows what their overhead challenges were. Serious question, anyone know?

My way of thinking was with yours.
One problem is unless you work/live near Wall St, you'll still need a cab to get to/from the helicopter.
They were also flying out of East 34 Street.Quote:
