What counts as a 10 seater helicopter
The Leonardo AW139, Airbus H145 and Airbus AS332 Super Puma are the 10-seat helicopters you will most often be offered in Switzerland. A helicopter like these costs about CHF 1,240 to CHF 3,710 per flight hour to charter, and from about $6 million to buy.
Operators count passenger seats, with the pilot extra. In everyday use a "10 seater" often includes the pilot, so this page lists helicopters that carry 9 or 10 passengers.
3 models on the Swiss FOCA list of AOC holders seat 9 or 10 passengers; together they make up 9 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 CHF 1,240 to CHF 3,710 for a helicopter in Switzerland. Tell us the route and we confirm an aircraft and price from licensed operators in Switzerland.
