US Helicopter Launches 8-Minute NYC to JFK Shuttle Service

New York, February 7, 2006 – US Helicopter announced today the first scheduled helicopter airport shuttle service in more than 20 years to provide travel between Manhattan and NYC area airports, with an average flight time of eight minutes.  The airport shuttle service between JFK International Airport (JFK) and Downtown Manhattan Heliport (JRB), at Wall Street, commences Monday, March 13, 2006. 
US Helicopter also saves travelers time, stress and the frustration of airport security lines.  Passengers are screened by federally regulated TSA security at the heliport.  US Helicopter flights land on the secure side of the airport, at JFK’s Terminal 9. 

Passengers traveling via the American Airlines global network and departing from Terminal 9, are checked-in at the Manhattan Heliport, where they obtain boarding passes and baggage receipts to their final destination.  These passengers remain in secure areas, eliminating the need to go through customary airport security at JFK.  Passengers traveling with other airlines proceed to AirTrain or ground transportation at JFK to connect to the appropriate terminal to complete the check-in process and proceed through security to their flight gate.

Tickets are $139.00 one-way, plus applicable taxes/fees, a special introductory offer effective for tickets purchased in March.  The regular ticket price is $159.00 one-way, plus applicable taxes/fees.  Tickets can be purchased online at www.flyush.com beginning Thursday, February 2, 2006. US Helicopter’s hours of operation are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Time Is Money
Not since the Concorde has a mode of transportation actually saved the traveler time… until now.  “In business, time is money and an hour can make or break a deal,” notes Jerry Murphy, President and CEO of US Helicopter.  “By reducing the airport commute up to 90 percent with a fast, reliable and cost-efficient mode of transport, business travelers are now able to maximize their time at the office.  With US Helicopter, they no longer face the uncertainty of how much time to allow for travel to and from the airport based on traffic grid-lock, congestion, construction and road closure.”
