This includes FBOs (fixed-base operators), other structures and the surrounding property.<\/p>\n<p>In its most basic form, a helipad would provide a touchdown and liftoff area. However, in larger centers, they can include multiple platforms and other service amenities such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fueling stations<\/li>\n<li>Hangars<\/li>\n<li>Passenger facilities<\/li>\n<li>Customs areas (for international travel)<\/li>\n<li>Offices<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Helicopter Charters Save Time<\/h2>\n<p>As you can see, a helipad is a lot like an airport, only it\u2019s used for helicopters. In fact, many larger airports contain heliports on the premises. This is extremely useful for travelers who fly into a city on private jet charters. Instead of commuting by ground, they continue their journey using helicopter charters. This approach has several advantages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shortens travel time<\/li>\n<li>Bypass traffic congestion<\/li>\n<li>Suitable for small groups<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Stratos Jet Charters has more than a\u00a0decade of experience in arranging both jet charters and helicopter charters for our clients.
