Appreciate if someone could advise me the hourly rental with Single Pilot for a Bell 407GXP in USA.
I have been quoted a high price for an hours flight for my family of 4 in Jakarta, Indonesia and wanted to get a base line figure in US$ before challenging the quotation.
Cheers Andrew

Keep in mind it's a lot cheaper to operate a Bell in the US than anywhere else in the world, so don't expect to get the same rates elsewhere.

Must be paying the pilots too much in Indonesia...

About $1800 in India, $2100 in Switzerland, $2300 in Germany for the old style 407.

Apart from a compressor upgrade, and some glass for the pilot there's precious little difference to pax, unless of course they went for bubble windows.
Out here it's closer to $1200 depending on who you talk to, but then our currency is mostly in the toilet..
