Heli Express to upgrade heliport and fleet
HONG KONG – Heli Express Limited (‘Heli Express’) has unveiled its plans for the expansion of Hong Kong’s heliport and an upgrade of associated lounge facilities.
The project launch follows the decision made earlier this year by the Hong Kong SAR government to award the company the tender to develop the existing heliport, situated on the roof-top of the Hong Kong – Macau Ferry Terminal, as well as a new 18-year lease contract to operate the facility.
The heliport, when completed in two years’ time, will provide enhanced passenger facilities and a dual-pad operation with connecting taxiways.
The operator announced that running parallel to the scheduled construction of the second helipad would be the complete refurbishment of a significantly expanded departure lounge for helicopter passengers.
Stanley Ho, Heli Express chairman. said that the expansion of the heliport and its passenger facilities “reflects the strength of our confidence in and commitment to the growth of the heli-shuttle business”.
Dr Ho said Heli Express would purchase six new Agusta Westland (AW) 139 helicopters to replace their current fleet of Sikorsky S76C+ aircraft.
Heli Express will take delivery of the first of its six AW 139 helicopters currently on order in November 2008, as part of its fleet replacement programme.
