Based on fleet data from Ascend, the current heli-tour fleet worldwide includes:
  • 2 AW119s (AW119Ke's, both with Kaan Air in Turkey)
  • 24 Bell 407s (incl. 3 407GXPs)
  • 193 H130/EC130s (incl. 109 H130s)
Heli-USA did operate the AW119 for a couple of years in the Grand Canyon, but they went bankrupt back in 2013 and their aircraft are now up for sale.

The big 407 operator in the NY region is Helicopter Flight Services.
