Tutte le nostre procedure, i nostri standard e le nostre best practice derivano da decenni di esperienza nel settore aeronautico. La nostra conoscenza diretta si traduce in massima tranquillità per tutti i nostri passeggeri! La gestione della sicurezza di HeliNY va oltre gli standard convenzionali, dando priorità ad audit e valutazioni del rischio per dimostrare costantemente la nostra dedizione al raggiungimento dei massimi livelli di sicurezza.

Manutenzione

La priorità del team di manutenzione di HeliNY è la sicurezza e adottiamo misure estreme per garantire che le nostre procedure siano in linea con la nostra cultura della sicurezza.

 

Il nostro team è composto da tecnici specializzati in aeromobili e motori (A&P) con licenza della Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). I ​​nostri tecnici sono inoltre formati presso la Bell Helicopter Training Academy per una formazione specialistica specifica.

 

Tutti gli aspetti della manutenzione e della riparazione del vostro elicottero vengono eseguiti secondo programmi rigorosi e regolari raccomandati dal produttore e approvati dalla FAA.

Flotta

I nostri elicotteri sono dotati di sistemi di sicurezza come: Sistemi di Posizionamento Globale (GPS), Unità di Visualizzazione a Visione Sintetica e Sistemi di Avvertimento del Terreno (TWAS). I nostri nuovi elicotteri Bell 407GX sono dotati delle più recenti tecnologie di riduzione del rumore.

 

Helicopter Flight Services è l’unica azienda dell’area di New York a utilizzare tecnologie di riduzione del rumore per gli elicotteri. Tutti i nostri velivoli sono dotati di Sistemi di Informazione sul Traffico (TIS), un’importante funzionalità di sicurezza che consente ai nostri piloti di visualizzare il traffico aereo di New York a colpo d’occhio.

 

Per mantenere la nostra flotta costantemente aggiornata, abbiamo recentemente acquisito i nuovi elicotteri Bell 407 GX e Bell 407 GXi.

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, November 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- HeliNY, New York City's premier provider of helicopter sightseeing, charter, and medical transport services, is proud to announce that it has been awarded certification from the Tour Operators Program of Safety (TOPS)—the nation's most respected safety accreditation program for helicopter tour operators.

This distinction marks a significant milestone in HeliNY's commitment to safety, pilot training, and operational integrity. HeliNY is the sole helicopter operator in the New York metropolitan region holding this elite certification.

TOPS is an independent nonprofit organization that sets the gold standard for air tour safety—surpassing even FAA requirements. Earning the designation requires compliance with a comprehensive set of safety benchmarks covering pilot qualifications, maintenance programs, risk management systems, and overall safety culture. Certified operators must also undergo annual third-party audits to ensure full compliance and continuous improvement.

“We congratulate HeliNY for passing our stringent air tour certification process and becoming a member operator,” said Christopher Young, Executive Director at the Tour Operators Program of Safety (TOPS). “All of our member operators voluntarily hold themselves to a much higher safety standard than other industry operators, and we are thrilled to welcome HeliNY into this organization.”

"Being recognized by TOPS is a tremendous honor," said Paul Blodgett, CEO of HeliNY. "It reinforces our belief that unforgettable experiences start with uncompromising safety. As the largest sightseeing helicopter operator in the New York metro area, maintaining the highest levels of safety training and oversight is not just our responsibility—it's our identity."

Since 1994, HeliNY has served the New York City metro area with a state-of-the-art fleet of Bell helicopters, operating from two key departure points: the Downtown Manhattan Heliport and Linden Municipal Airport in New Jersey. With over 80,000 collective pilot hours and 78,000 passengers flown annually, HeliNY has earned a reputation as one of the most trusted names in urban air tourism.

The achievement of TOPS Certification provides an additional layer of confidence for passengers who choose HeliNY for sightseeing tours, private charters, regional getaways, or medical transportation—knowing their experience meets the industry's highest safety and operational standards.

Key Standards Required for TOPS Certification

- Annual independent safety audits
- Implementation of proactive Safety Management Systems (SMS)
- Pilot training and maintenance programs that exceed federal regulations
- Transparent reporting and continuous safety enhancement
