Brazil’s largest private helicopter service provider is launching an upscale urban air mobility brand called Revo. Parent Omni Helicopters International (OHI) said the service will use two-pilot, twin-engine Airbus helicopters and provide scheduled luxury passenger service between São Paulo and Guarulhos Airport with 40 flights per week, as well as regular charters.
Revo will be targeting high-net-worth individuals and plans to offer a full door-to-door service integrated with ground transportation. While passengers will be allowed to bring alcohol on flights, pepper spray, electroshock weapons, e-bikes, safes, money bags, and lithium batteries will be prohibited.
“Ultimately, this is the first step in what we envision as a long journey for Revo,” said CEO Joao Welsh. “With the brand infrastructure in place, it’s our ultimate ambition to introduce electric vertical takeoff and landing [eVTOL] aircraft into our fleet in the near future, providing our users with unparalleled comfort in a climate-conscious manner.”
OHI’s subsidiaries include Omni Taxi Aereo Brazil, the country’s largest helicopter service provider with a fleet of some 70 aircraft, eight active fleet programs, and more than 10 bases. It also operates Omni Helicopters Guyana, supporting offshore energy companies there with crew change and search-and-rescue services.
