France-based Helipass (Booth 10759), an online booking platform based in Europe, has opened a Los Angeles office, effectively extending its footprint to the U.S. Designed three years ago primarily for helicopter tour operators, the company’s website enables users to book and view upcoming aerial tour reservations, manage bookings and for operators to get paid immediately.
The Helipass website provides real-time booking, complete passenger listing online, real-time weather rescheduling, international invoicing and payments, interactive dashboard and international distribution networks. Tour operators can signup for the service online for no charge, create a profile and get reservations in minutes, according to Helipass. Operators pay for the service only after completing passenger flights booked through Helipass.
