Request for info on running costs and best helicopter type for light aerial work.

Hi Um... lifting...

Many thanks for your reply. At this stage I simply want to get an idea of the running costs of each type - plus the pros and cons of each - as they both seem to be very popular.

I am not interested in running multiple types of helicopter; just want to gauge which would be the best value for money. Clearly the 206B would be the cheapest to run; but I'd need to weigh that up against the added safety of running a twin.

I know Castle Air also run AW 109s - maybe I should consider those too - hence broadening the title of this, a bit!

I'm doing a bit of market research for a customer of mine, so any information will be very much appreciated!

Many thanks again for your help!

Best regards,

fiando
