Robinson R44 & R66
The Robinson R44, a versatile four-seat helicopter, delivers robust performance with exceptional operating economy. Its proven reliability and straightforward maintenance make it a preferred choice for various missions. Upgrading to the R66 introduces a turbine engine, enhancing power, smoothness, and operational resilience. These rotorcraft are highly effective for precision aerial surveys, expedient short-range executive charters, light external lift operations, and targeted agricultural applications across the New Orleans area.
Airbus AS350 "A-Star"
The single-engine AS350 B2 is a multi-role workhorse with an impeccable operational track record and competitive operating economics. Seating up to six, its inherent flexibility makes it a highly desirable asset. This helicopter excels in diverse missions, including executive passenger charters, detailed aerial surveys, light external lift operations, wildfire suppression support, professional aerial filming, and law enforcement support throughout Louisiana and the Gulf Coast region.
Bell 206 JetRanger
The Bell 206 JetRanger stands as an iconic and highly recognizable helicopter globally. Its design is optimally suited for essential utility missions, precise aerial surveys, seamless corporate transport, and discerning executive helicopter charters. The airframe's remarkable versatility, combined with its wide array of configurable options, makes it one of the most prevalent helicopters operating across Louisiana's airspace.
Bell UH-1 Huey
The Bell UH-1 Iroquois, widely recognized as the 'Huey,' is a legendary multi-purpose utility helicopter. Transitioning from its historic military role, hundreds of these robust aircraft have been refitted for civilian operations. The Huey now serves as an indispensable workhorse for demanding heavy external lift projects, critical wildfire suppression efforts, and extensive construction missions across the New Orleans metropolitan area and beyond.
Bell 407
Equipped with a four-bladed rotor system and a potent turbine engine, the Bell 407 is a highly favored helicopter for its versatility and performance. This airframe excels across a broad spectrum of missions, including premier executive charters, challenging heavy external lift operations, comprehensive aerial surveys, specialized filming projects, and critical wildfire suppression support, reliably serving the New Orleans region.
Kaman K-MAX
The Kaman K-MAX, featuring its distinctive intermeshing rotor system, boasts an exceptional maximum external payload capacity of 6,000 pounds. This payload often exceeds its own empty weight, establishing the K-MAX synchrocopter as the preeminent heavy-lifting helicopter in its class. For demanding construction projects and specialized heavy lift operations requiring between 4,000 and 6,000 pounds, its cost-per-pound lift efficiency remains unparalleled within the New Orleans market.
AgustaWestland AW109
The AgustaWestland AW109 is a lightweight, twin-engine, eight-seat multi-purpose helicopter that is perfect for large charter groups who expect a higher-standard of luxury.

Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk
With a significant number of Black Hawks being converted for civilian use, this powerful helicopter is filling an important role for heavy external lifts and firefighting.
fixed wing aircraft
While our core expertise lies in helicopter operations, many missions are optimally served by fixed-wing private jets or turboprop aircraft. We meticulously track the dynamic positioning of these high-performance aircraft across the continental United States, ensuring access to the broadest range of solutions. Consult with your dedicated aviation expert at New Orleans Helicopter Charters. They will assess your specific requirements to determine if a fixed-wing solution offers a more cost-effective and comfortable approach for your upcoming charter.
Pacific Aerospace PAC P-750 XSTOL
The P-750 turboprop aircraft stands out for its exceptional short take-off and landing (STOL) capabilities. This allows access to regional airfields and remote landing strips inaccessible to many other aircraft, significantly expanding operational reach. The P-750's adaptable design permits rapid reconfiguration for diverse missions, including specialized skydiving operations, efficient passenger charters, precise aerial surveys, and targeted agricultural spraying services throughout the Louisiana region.
Cessna Citation Jets
The Cessna Citation family of business jets consistently ranks as the most popular series worldwide, and it is our top recommendation for medium to long-range executive charters. Originating from New Orleans, these aircraft provide an unparalleled blend of efficiency, comfort, and reliability. Whether your mission is critical business travel or a discerning personal journey, a Citation charter delivers a superior private aviation experience.
Beechcraft Super King Air
The Super King Air is the most successful turboprop airplane of all time. It comfortably seats 8 persons and can access airports with shorter runways.
Bombardier Learjet
The Learjet comfortably seats 8 or more persons, has high altitude flight capacity, and is very fast. This family of private jets is very popular for longer charter flights.
