What counts as an 8 seater helicopter
The Airbus H125, Bell 206L LongRanger, Airbus H135 and Bell 429 are the 8-seat helicopters you will most often be offered in Brazil. A helicopter like these costs about R$7,620 to R$22,870 per flight hour to charter, and from about $3 million to buy.
Operators count passenger seats, with the pilot extra. In everyday use a "8 seater" often includes the pilot, so this page lists helicopters that carry 7 or 8 passengers.
8 models on Brazil's ANAC list of authorised air operators seat 7 or 8 passengers; together they make up 131 aircraft.
Seats are not the only limit. On hot days and at high elevations operators may fly fewer people than the seats fitted, because the helicopter can lift less. Expect to give passenger and bag weights when you book.
Charter is priced for the whole aircraft by the flight hour: about R$7,620 to R$22,870 for a helicopter in Brazil. Tell us the route and we confirm an aircraft and price from licensed operators in Brazil.
