CHILDREN & INFANTS:

  • Children 0 years old and over are child price and must have their own seat
  • Ages 13 years and older require an adult priced ticket

TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
Helicopter – Minimum 4 adults
Child prices are for ages 0 – 12 years

INFANTS: The Civil Aviation Authority stipulates that we operate our aircraft in line with the manufacturers guidelines, one of these guidelines is that there is maximum number of passengers allowed on the aircraft, adult, child or infant. Therefore when an infant is booked on our flights and sits on the lap of a caregiver we are required to leave a seat free for this infant, thus the total maximum number of passengers remains the same. This is why you will see a charge for infants.
