Your business solution to time efficiency

Bell Helicopters for Business and Corporate Flight Departments

Complete your fleet

Is your corporate flight department operating as efficiently as possible? The helicopter solution can provide solutions that fixed-wing cannot: savings on DOCs, significantly reduced flight planning and runway independence. The helicopter serves as a complement to an existing corporate flight department, or is an operationally efficient solution for starting a flight department for business travel.

People think of a helicopter as a luxury. But I look at it as a competitive advantage.

Business travel by helicopter is often faster and more economical

For executives, business-owners and corporate flight departments, resources as it relates to both time and budget are paramount. The Greater Chicago area is home to several Fortune 500 companies with flight departments and the below example conveys a common itinerary. In the below example and in the case study available for download, it becomes clear that in many cases, a helicopter provides the most economical and quickest (as it relates to time capital) travel solution. Whether traveling from jobsite to jobsite, meeting to meeting, facility to facility or otherwise, the helicopter is an important tool for the corporate flight department.

Investments matter

Fixed-winged aircraft can rack up more than $6,000 in operating costs per hour. A helicopter can drastically cut down your acquisition and operating costs by nearly 75%. With the price of gas rising around the globe, a helicopter can become the most efficient way to travel, especially in major cities like Chicago or Detroit.

More time back in your day

The average commute in the U.S. is 55 minutes. Though you can’t add more hours to the day, the helicopter solution can minimize travel time and get you to multiple places throughout your day. It can also get you where you need to go faster in less time than a fixed-wing aircraft.

You control your schedule

Sometimes business doesn’t happen 9am to 5pm. A helicopter secures your last-minute travel plans without depending on an airport or waiting in security lines. Your helicopter allows you to travel in style and comfort on your terms.
