Fly Lindy, a subsidiary of US private jet operator GrandView Aviation, is making private helicopter commuting accessible to the masses with the launch of a pay-per-seat private helicopter charter shuttle from New York City to Washington, DC to Baltimore. Traditionally a method of travel reserved for billionaires, Fly Lindy will offer an exhilarating experience for its passengers in its Sikorsky 76D and Bell 407 GXi helicopters.
Starting as soon as this June, travellers from Washington, DC, New York and Baltimore, Maryland, can book-by-the-seat tickets on a private helicopter. Every Monday and Friday, Fly Lindy will offer morning, noon and evening departures from the DC metro area to Wall Street NYC and back. Private helicopters from DC to NYC can cost over $10,000 each way, making Fly Lindy incredible value.
"Fly Lindy isn't only about a luxury experience, but it's safety and security that we promise to our passengers." states Jessie Naor, chief operating officer of Fly Lindy. "Our approach to safety is industry-leading." While the Fly Lindy service may be new, it has a sophisticated aviation safety team and state of the art helicopters. The company promises:
- Two pilots on every flight with ATP ratings, the highest certificate issued to commercial pilots in the USA
- Advanced aircraft technology, including: terrain awareness and warning systems, traffic collision avoidance systems, autopilot, pop-out flotation systems and more
- IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) rated helicopters, so flights can be conducted in the clouds safely, and under the guidance of air traffic control (i.e. NO scud running),
- A Wyvern Wingman rating (a third party safety agency verifying that Fly Lindy's policies and procedures are amongst the best in the private aircraft industry).
Official booking dates are pending COVID-related travel restrictions and vaccine progress. Flights are operated under Fly Lindy's parent company, GrandView Aviation, a Part 135 FAA-certificated air carrier.
