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. Fly Lindy is aiming to offer an exhilarating experience for its passengers in its Sikorsky 76D and Bell 407 GXi helicopters.

Starting 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.

“Fly Lindy isn't only about a luxury experience, but it's safety and security that we promise to our passengers,” confirms Jessie Naor, COO 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 and pop-out flotation systems; IFR rated helicopters, so flights can be conducted in the clouds safely, and under the guidance of air traffic control; and a Wyvern Wingman rating.

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-certified air carrier.
