All of our helicopters are fitted with emergency pop-out floats, emergency locator transmitters and headsets for all passengers, allowing for internal communication and noise protection. Our helicopters are maintained to the highest level, by a fleet of engineers at Helibiz, and at all times meet the strict requirements, defined by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA).
These helicopters are ideal for scenic flights as every person on board occupies a window seat. The maximum capacity is three passengers, guaranteeing a great experience with few numbers.
The EC-120B is a 5-seat, single-engine, single main rotor, light helicopter. Features a wide, comfortable cabin with great visibility. The fenestron tail rotor makes it a quiet helicopter, perfect for taking in the scenery.
This 6-passenger turbine aircraft is our largest. Perfect for small groups or families. The seat configuration is one up front and five in the back (two of which face aft). 5 passengers occupy a window seat, great for viewing from the air!
