HeliNY selects Anchor Operating System

HeliNY, a division of Helicopter Flight Services, Inc., has chosen Anchor Operating System as its strategic partner to streamline its helitour operations.

With Anchor's cutting-edge platform, HeliNY gains access to a flight board that displays all its helicopter models, along with a powerful weight optimiser tool. This tool enables HeliNY to seamlessly rearrange passengers, maximising seating capacity for each tour while ensuring safety and comfort. It provides real-time information on available seats and remaining weight capacity.

HeliNY is the largest and one of the oldest private operators of helicopter transportation services in the New York metro area. Operating in one of the most active markets in the US, HeliNY benefits from over 60 million annual visitors. For more than 29 years, it has been the market leader, providing a range of consumer and commercial services to over 80,000 passengers annually.

Nasi Peretz, president and chief technology officer at Anchor Operating System, emphasised the significance of this collaboration: “We're honoured to partner with HeliNY in upgrading its ticketing and operational systems. With Anchor's technology, HeliNY can elevate its efficiencies to a whole new level, setting a benchmark for excellence in the aviation industry. Our shared commitment to creating amazing experiences perfectly aligns with HeliNY's mission.”

Paul Blodgett, chief executive officer at HeliNY, expressed his enthusiasm for this strategic partnership: “Anchor's system, backed by a phenomenal development team, will revolutionise the customer experience at HeliNY. It's a key factor in our business expansion in the Northeast region. Its platform is industry-leading for our tour business, but it also enables us to seamlessly integrate our other offerings, including helicopter airport transfers, customised charters and the specialised destination experiences we are launching this Spring. Anchor is even developing a customisable app for us, allowing our clients to book a flight on their phone.”
