Politica di cancellazione

Se dovete cancellare il vostro volo, vi preghiamo di contattarci via email o di chiamare il nostro ufficio in anticipo al numero (212) 355-0801.

Politica di rimborso per le date di blackout – Per garantire equità a tutti i clienti, abbiamo implementato una politica di non rimborso durante i periodi di blackout, poiché queste date sono molto richieste e le cancellazioni potrebbero influire sulla possibilità di prenotare per altri. Inoltre, in vista dei periodi di alta richiesta, HFS prende accordi con il personale interno e diversi fornitori e partner, pertanto non siamo in grado di erogare rimborsi durante i periodi di blackout.

  • Periodi di blackout:
    o 14 aprile – 31 maggio
    o 15 giugno – 15 settembre
    o 20 novembre – 5 gennaio 2026

Se dovete cancellare o riprogrammare il volo durante questi periodi, emetteremo un credito volo, che dovrà essere utilizzato entro 12 mesi dalla data di acquisto. Le modifiche devono essere effettuate con più di 72 ore di anticipo rispetto alla data di partenza prevista per non applicare costi aggiuntivi.

Termini di cancellazione standard (al di fuori delle date di blackout)

  • Le cancellazioni effettuate più di 72 ore prima del volo hanno diritto a un rimborso, al netto di una commissione di elaborazione del rimborso sulla carta di credito.
  • Le cancellazioni effettuate entro 72 ore dalla partenza non sono rimborsabili.

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

“We congratulate HeliNY for demonstrating compliance with the WYVERN Wingman Standard. Their validated SMS and strong participation in the Flight Leader Program reflect a commitment to continuous improvement and operational excellence.”
