One of the principle uses of helicopters in PBA is for short urban commutes, hopping over traffic-snarled streets from meeting to meeting. Recreational use is also important: with ultra-high net worth individuals often favouring remote locations to live and relax, helicopter can be the ideal – and sometimes only – way to travel point to point from mountain chalets, quiet islands or mega-yachts.

Fast, comfortable, convenient and secluded – it’s easy to see the appeal of private helicopter travel.

The next-generation H160 is debuting a new air medical interior concept at this year’s Heli Expo trade show, with a cabin-mock up on the Airbus Helicopters booth completed by Metro Aviation.
