NovaJet Executive Helicopter Charter, A Journey Worthy of the Destination
NovaJet Aviation Group executive helicopter service opens up a world of travel opportunities
Imagine closing out the work day in downtown Toronto and reuniting with your family 35 minutes later at your Muskoka cottage. Or flying with friends on a scenic ride to golf in Port Carling or Minett. Or venturing to Niagara for an afternoon of wine tasting, then bringing the wine back to the cottage for dinner that night.
These are just a few ways that an executive charter helicopter service can raise the bar on premium travel. “We specialize in meeting the needs of those travelers who value their time, safety, and privacy while enjoying a premium experience,” says Philip Babbitt, President and CEO of NovaJet Aviation Group.
The service offers a convenient advantage with the ability to land at airports, golf courses, and any one of the many helipads in Southern Ontario, including Polson Pier along the shore of Toronto Harbour.
“We can even land on your front yard if you have enough space,” Phillip commented.
NovaJet recently acquired a new helicopter that is creating quite a stir. Called the gold standard of its class, the Sikorsky S-76 features unparalleled comfort and luxury, with ample leg room and seating for six.
Peter Andersen, NovaJet Captain, says this isn’t just one of the nicest-looking commercial helicopters available, it’s also very fast. Its twin engines let it cruise at about 175 mph, with a range of about 300 nautical miles. “That’s why it’s so popular in the corporate world,” he notes, “where people need to get somewhere smoothly, comfortably and fast.”
Luxurious and fast Helicopter travel is one of those things you have to experience to believe, says Phillip, who often hears from ecstatic clients. “Everyone who’s tried it comes back and raves, ‘What a great way of traveling, it just saves so much time,’” It’s not just fast, he adds: “it’s a very luxurious way to get from Point A to Point B.”
For cottage owners, helicopter travel opens up the corridor between city and country and gets you away from sitting in a car for hours. Getting from Toronto to Muskoka takes just 35 minutes, depending on where you land. In the mood for wine country? From Toronto you can be in the Niagara area in 20 minutes, or Prince Edward County in just 45.
One of the nicest things about traveling in a helicopter is the truly unique perspective and ability to see things in a different light. After transcending your everyday existence in this unique mode of transport, you arrive relaxed and ready for life’s next adventure.
