What counts as a 7 seater helicopter
The Airbus H125, Bell 206L LongRanger, Bell 407 and Bell 412 are the 7-seat helicopters you will most often be offered in Canada. A helicopter like these costs about C$2,120 to C$6,370 per flight hour to charter, and from about $3 million to buy.
Operators count passenger seats, with the pilot extra. In everyday use a "7 seater" often includes the pilot, so this page lists helicopters that carry 6 or 7 passengers.
14 models on the Canadian Transportation Agency's register of air licences seat 6 or 7 passengers; together they make up 792 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 C$2,120 to C$6,370 for a helicopter in Canada. Tell us the route and we confirm an aircraft and price from licensed operators in Canada.

To charter, you pay by the flight hour, not for the seats: about C$2,120 to C$6,370 per hour for a helicopter like these in Canada, before GST or HST where it applies, and airport fees, positioning and airport charges. An empty seat costs the same as a full one, so price the trip for the whole aircraft.
