Helicopters over New York for Healthcare Heroes

Donation protected
Wings Air Helicopters is a Westchester, NY based helicopter company founded in 2002. From our humble beginnings we have grown into a premier helicopter company offering innovative services. We are avid advocates of airborne travel and therefore, flying is not merely an occupation, but our passion. 

In these unprecedented times we are offering frontline healthcare workers a tangible thank you for their heroic efforts against COVID-19: a once-in-a-lifetime helicopter tour of our majestic Big Apple, free of charge. They truly deserve our gratitude and a show of our appreciation.

To date we have flown 50 healthcare workers from hard hit New York area hospitals. It has been a true pleasure to bring some much needed joy to these wonderful professionals! Flights are conducted in the safest way possible: in small private groups with no-contact check in, mandatory face masks and hand sanitizing before flights. To protect passengers and crew, helicopters are thoroughly disinfected before each flight. 

Unfortunately we have now exhausted the first round of donations and need your help with continuing the initiative. Following a prolonged business slowdown due to the pandemic, we are unable to cover all of the operating costs associated with this initiative on our own. We have pledged to cover 50% and this will not change. However, due to overwhelming interest we are now waitlisting heroes until more funds can be raised. Any amount is welcome and will all go towards the same goal. Over 100 heroes are still waiting to take their flights with us. 

To recommend a healthcare worker for a complimentary hero flight (from NYC, Westchester County or Fairfield County), or to sign yourself up, please contact us to be added to our list. 

Thank you very much for your generosity!
