What counts as an 8 seater helicopter
The Airbus H145, Leonardo AW139, Airbus H130 and Airbus AS365 Dauphin are the 8-seat helicopters you will most often be offered in Mexico. A helicopter like these costs about MX$27,580 to MX$82,730 per flight hour to charter, and from about $6 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.
4 models on AFAC air taxi permit records seat 7 or 8 passengers; together they make up 24 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 MX$27,580 to MX$82,730 for a helicopter in Mexico. Tell us the route and we confirm an aircraft and price from licensed operators in Mexico.
