Hey all - any recommendations of operators around Bali with 206L, AS350, or similar machines? Charter is for photo flights in the area. I'm aware of Air Bali but want to see what options there are. Also I got a quote in the $2300US/hr range for 206L, almost double US rates. Is this the norm for the area? Thanks!

I reckon thats cheap!

Remember - to start their operation they have to import the aircraft to Bali (which will even involve large taxes) and then get spares, fuel, piloting, remote operations etc etc...!

And make a profit.

I've just checked the Panduan Informasi Bisnis BALI directory and Air Bali is the only operator mentioned. There is also Heli SGI in Bali but they are owned by the same Company. $2300/hr sounds about right for that part of the world (and it would be based on engine operating time and not actual flight time).
