What counts as a 12 seater helicopter
The Airbus AS365 Dauphin are the 12-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.
Operators count passenger seats, with the pilot extra. In everyday use a "12 seater" often includes the pilot, so this page lists helicopters that carry 11 or 12 passengers.
One model on France's DGAC list of air carriers seats 11 or 12 passengers; it makes up 2 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.

12 seater helicopter price
To charter, you pay by the flight hour, not for the seats: about €1,340 to €4,010 per hour for a helicopter like these in France, before the solidarity tax and any VAT, positioning and airport charges. An empty seat costs the same as a full one, so price the trip for the whole aircraft.
