Wear the story of US Helicopter, an independent air shuttle that briefly changed how travelers moved between Manhattan and nearby destinations. Starting in March 2006, the carrier served JFK, added departures from East 34th Street, and later began Newark flights. Seasonal coastal service and charter trips broadened its reach, but financial difficulties brought operations to an abrupt end in September 2009. This quarter-zip connects everyday style with a notable chapter for airline-history collectors and urban aviation fans.
US Helicopter was an independent air shuttle service headquartered at the Downtown Manhattan Heliport, Pier 6, East River, in Lower Manhattan, New York City. It began service in March 2006, connecting Manhattan with John F. Kennedy International Airport and, later, Newark Liberty International Airport and Bridgeport, Connecticut. Flights to JFK departed from the Downtown Manhattan and East 34th Street heliports; the East 34th Street service began in September 2006. Newark service followed in November 2006, using a secured area in Continental Airlines’ Terminal C. The company also offered charter flights and seasonal routes to East Hampton, New York, and Belmar, New Jersey. Its fleet comprised three Sikorsky S-76B helicopters, each configured for eight passengers and operated by two pilots. A planned order for Sikorsky S-76C aircraft was canceled after the company’s financial collapse. Facing severe financial difficulties in 2009, US Helicopter borrowed operating funds at high interest rates. It abruptly shut down on September 25, 2009. The following month, it reported that it lacked the resources to continue filing securities reports or preparing financial statements. The airline never resumed operations.
