Helicopters are one of the aircraft categories Atlantic City Jet Charter can look into for a trip, alongside the fixed-wing aircraft we arrange to and from Atlantic City. The types listed here seat 4 to 8 passengers, with published ranges from 324 to 500 nautical miles. Which one suits your trip depends on the passenger count, the baggage, the distance and the airports at both ends.
Typical Aircraft
The helicopter types listed here are Agusta A109, Bell 407, Bell JetRanger, Bell LongRanger, Eurocopter (Airbus Helicopters) and Sikorsky S-76.
When a Helicopter Fits an Atlantic City Trip
Whether a helicopter suits any part of a trip to or from Atlantic City depends on where you can land at each end, the weather on the coast and what operators in the region can offer on your date. Helicopters suit short flights only, so your advisor checks with those operators before saying whether one fits your plans.
Cabin size, baggage space and range vary across these 6 types, so send us the details and we will narrow the list down for you.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
Atlantic City-Specific Patterns We Plan Around
Atlantic City International Airport (ACY) is in Egg Harbor Township, about ten miles northwest of the Boardwalk, and is operated by the South Jersey Transportation Authority. Margate, Ventnor and Longport are about ten miles from the airport and Ocean City, New Jersey about twelve, Cape May County Airport near Wildwood suits smaller jets and turboprops heading to Cape May, and Philadelphia and the New York-area airports are the other options, depending on the rest of your plans. The Jersey Shore sees nor’easters from fall through spring and snow in the winter, and the Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st to November 30th. Summer weekends from Memorial Day to Labor Day, the holidays and the big event weeks book up first, so tell us your dates early.
