When does a helicopter make sense?
- When you want to reach a place without an airport, such as an approved helipad or landing site.
- When you want to skip traffic in a city or over a short distance.
- With few passengers and little baggage.
When does a jet make sense?
- As the distance grows: a jet is much faster and has a longer range.
- With more passengers and baggage.
- When the weather could limit a helicopter flight.
Both together
On some trips the most practical solution is to fly the long leg by jet and the last short leg by helicopter.
