What counts as a 10 seater helicopter
The Airbus H145 and Airbus AS365 Dauphin are the 10-seat helicopters you will most often be offered in France. A helicopter like these costs about €1,340 to €4,010 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.
2 models on France's DGAC list of air carriers seat 9 or 10 passengers; together they make up 17 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 €1,340 to €4,010 for a helicopter in France. Tell us the route and we confirm an aircraft and price from licensed operators in France.
