Heliport; Are they economically viable?
I've always wanted to know whether a heliport such as the one located on the river Thames in London is run as a separate entity to the charted flight businesses that land there, or they're a fixed asset in the companies operation; ie counted as property?
If so and they are a separate business;
1) Are there many profitably run heliports in operation around the world?
2) How many frequencies would a port need to become economically viable? (considering the property costs would be at a premium due to the location) *
3) Does anyone know what the average landing fees are currently in most major cities?
