US Helicopter to start Newark-Wall Street on Dec. 18
US Helicopter will begin regular 8-minute flights to Newark airport from its Wall Street heliport starting December 18 for $159 plus security fees, the company announced this morning.
Its helicopters will land at Continental Airlines' Terminal C. Flights will depart from Wall Street every hour at the half hour on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., according to the schedule on its website. The website also indicated the flights will take 10 minutes, not eight as the press release asserts. "Time is money," US Helicopter's president and CEO Jerry Murphy said in the statement.
Travelers departing from Wall Street will undergo TSA security at the heliport and have their bags automatically transferred to their airplane. Travelers arriving at Newark on Continental will also get their bags automatically transferred to the heliport.
Earlier this year, US Helicopter started service from Wall Street to JFK Airport and Connecticut's Bridgeport Sikorsky Memorial Airport. With the new service in December, a passenger arriving to Newark should be able to reach JFK via US Helicopter in 53 minutes or Connecticut in 37 minutes, according to the news release.
In November, US Helicopter said it plans to add another Manhattan heliport at 34th Street on the East River and service to LaGuardia Airport in early 2007.
The company flies Sikorsky S76 helicopters configured for eight passengers and staffed with two pilots.
