What counts as an 8 seater helicopter
The Bell 412, Airbus H130 and Leonardo AW139 are the 8-seat helicopters you will most often be offered in Italy. A helicopter like these costs about €1,340 to €4,010 per flight hour to charter, and from about $7 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.
3 models on Italy's ENAC list of air operators seat 7 or 8 passengers; together they make up 4 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 Italy. Tell us the route and we confirm an aircraft and price from licensed operators in Italy.
