We were asked to arrange a helicopter transfer for an incentive group, who needed to get from Tokyo to the Fuji Speedway.
Arranging a helicopter transfer in Japan
A travel agent in Japan asked us to arrange a helicopter transfer from Tokyo to the Fuji Speedway for an automotive incentive group. Instead of a lengthy road transfer, they wanted to save time by flying directly to the racetrack in the foothills in Mount Fuji. We set about finding a cost-effective charter solution within the client's limited budget.
Our Solution
Route: Tokyo > Fuji
Aircraft: Eurocopter AS355, Sikorsky S-76
Learning that the client had been advised to use a single-engine Robinson R44 by another helicopter charter provider, our experienced team recommended several twin-engine options that were better suited to their requirements.
The client was impressed with our expert knowledge and asked us to proceed with arranging the charter. We sourced two Eurocopter AS355s and a Sikorsky S-76 to transport the 18 passengers within budget, liaising with the operator to confirm the finer details.
The Finer Details
24/7 Communication: Our broker was on standby around the clock to respond to any client queries and inform the operator of any changes.
Rapid Response: We smoothly accommodated the last-minute replacement of two passengers on the morning of the flight.
Flexible Solution: With a typhoon forecast, we ensured the helicopters were ready to depart two hours earlier or later than planned if needed.
