An aviation company in Harbin has started helicopters rental
service recently. Thus it is possible for one to take a ride in a
helicopter to go skiing there.
The helicopters for rent include Y-12, Z-9A and AS350B2. The
price varies from 15,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan per hour depending on
different models of the aircraft.
Though the price is beyond the reach of most of the ordinary
citizens, the company promises that certain discounts will be given
to frequent clients and those who will fly a long-distance
journey.
"Though our service is expensive, it has the convenience of
flying to anywhere within Heilongjiang at any time as the client wishes.
Trip around China is also possible, given that the client hands in
an application to the Civil Aviation Administration beforehand,"
said Wang Enli, the director of the marketing department of the
company.
