Following the increasingly popular trend of business jet operators offering block charter hour programmes, Aviaxess has launched its own 'Corporate Helicard.'

The scheme enables clients to purchase blocks of 25 or 50 flight hours on the helicopter of their choice at a fixed cost. The company states that the hours are valid on all 35 helicopters in the programme, guaranteeing flexibility.

Aviaxess, which partners numerous sporting events, including the French Formula One Grand Prix, Marathon de Sables and football championships, anticipates that the programme will prove popular with corporate clients, logistic teams and airline business passengers who utilise helicopters.

"Today, the passengers need to travel under the best conditions of safety, effectiveness and budget. The Corporate Helicard offers these," said Aviaxess president Frederic Aguettant.
