New York, Jan 23, 2007 – US Helicopter Corporation announced today it will expand its scheduled, airport shuttle to service midtown businesses and hotels, operating between the East 34th Street Heliport and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and Newark Liberty Intl. Airport. The additional routes will commence on February 5, 2007.
US Helicopter is expanding service to accommodate the midtown area's high traffic, making business travel more convenient for all of Manhattan with an eight-minute airport commute. Service from the East 34th Street Heliport to JFK and Newark will initially serve the afternoon demand – with ten flights to/from JFK and ten flights to/from Newark.
All US Helicopter passengers traveling through East 34th Street clear federally regulated TSA security at the heliport. US Helicopter passengers traveling on airline partners American Airlines at JFK or Continental Airlines at Newark will be able to conveniently check in, receive their boarding passes and through-check their bags to their final destination.
After an eight minute flight, customers will arrive on the secure side where they will be able to proceed directly to the departure gates when traveling with a partner airline.
The ticket price between the East 34th Street Heliport and JFK or Newark begins at $169 one-way, plus applicable security tax.
Presently, US Helicopter operates 240 weekly flights to/from the Downtown Manhattan Heliport, JFK International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport, as well as service to/from Downtown Manhattan Heliport and Bridgeport Sikorsky Memorial Airport serving Fairfield and New Haven counties. US Helicopter will provide the same scheduled service to/from the East 34th Street Heliport adding an additional 100 weekly flights.
