subject: Emergency Helicopter Delivery Service [print this page] Businesses often find that emergencies and time-sensitive situations arise when they least expect it. Fortunately, in many large cities, helicopter delivery services are available to transport packages or legal documents from one business to another expeditiously. There are many events that can require this service, for example, a corporate business deal that necessitates the shipment of legal documents via hard copy (as opposed to fax or email.) Another example would be a medical emergency in which materials need to be transported to a medical facility as fast as humanly possible. While this service can be expensive, it is often available throughout metropolitan areas and it is usually the fastest, more efficient way to transport materials or documents in urgent situations.
Most often, couriers would prefer that the helicopter service is used in extreme situations only, some event akin to an emergency. Due to the limited number of copters available, it is necessary to use discretion. If the copters are use for a non-emergency event, and an actual urgency occurs, the availability for the helicopter will be compromised. Businesses may disagree on what is considered an emergency, so it is up to the courier to determine what event qualifies. Furthermore, the number of copters available at the time is also considered. In larger cities, there may be an ample number of helicopters available at any given time. In this case, it may become more common for these copters to be used for corporate and legal purposes. Big businesses can very often get anything that they are willing to pay for, as long as it is not at the expense of others.
Some business may not be aware that there are delivery services in their area that have these capabilities. If you ever need to use this type of service, it is best to do some research and find a courier beforehand that has the capabilities to fill your needs. Very often, airport couriers have the best potential. They generally have the facilities to house a large aircraft such as a helicopter. Keep in mind that these services are very expensive, but are often well-worth the cost. Once you find your courier, it is usually beneficial to form a long-term relationship with them by using their delivery services for other, less time-critical needs. When an emergency arises, you will then have the tools and information necessary to act upon it quickly and efficiently.
