Questions

Airbus H125: charter questions

Typically 5 in charter configuration. Cabin layouts differ from one aircraft to the next, so ask the operator for the seat map of the exact aircraft you are quoted, and how many of the seats convert to beds if you fly overnight.
About 340 nautical miles (630 km, 391 statute miles), or roughly 2.5 hours at its typical cruise speed of 133 knots. That is the published figure, which assumes a light load, calm winds and standard fuel reserves: a full cabin, heavy bags, headwinds or a cold-weather alternate airport all cut it.
It cruises around 133 knots, about 153 mph or 246 km/h. Block time on a real trip adds taxi, climb, descent and the day’s winds.
A helicopter. Short transfers between cities, airports, resorts and helipads. Comparable aircraft in our catalog: Bell 407, Bell 429, Sikorsky S-76 and Airbus H155.
A charter is priced per trip, not per seat: the route, dates, repositioning of the aircraft, overnight crew costs and fees all go into the quote, so we quote the trip rather than publish one figure. Our guide to private jet costs has dated price ranges by aircraft size, and our charter desk quotes this aircraft and its alternatives for your dates.
