Helicopter airlines often need to cross a geographical boundary to be competitive. Only Helijet in Canada will be the last surviving helicopter airline operation after BIH closes their Scilly operation.
Helijet is a substitute for slow moving ferry boats and BIH has a similar operation. If a fixed-wing aircraft can fly the same route they will underprice the cost of the fare. If the shuttle is using heliports for point to point then perhaps they have a chance.
