AS350 B3 — Built for Kedarnath
At Kedarnath's operating altitude of 3,583 m (11,755 ft), standard low-altitude helicopters cannot function safely. Sky Charter India deploys only altitude-certified aircraft — primarily the Airbus AS350 B3 (H125), which holds the world record for the highest helicopter landing and is certified for operations well above the Kedarnath site elevation.
For Kedarnath operations, the recommended aircraft is the AS350 B3 (H125) — the world's pre-eminent high-altitude helicopter, certified well above the operating altitude at this location. Availability is confirmed at the time of booking; positioning from the nearest base is included in your all-inclusive quote.
Bell 407
The Bell 407 is India's most popular VIP helicopter, offering an exceptionally quiet cabin, excellent single-engine performance, and best-in-class visibility. Ideal for corporate VIP transfers, aerial tours, and light utility missions.
AS350 B3 / H125
The AS350 B3 (Airbus H125) is the world's pre-eminent high-altitude helicopter, certified for operations above 8,000 metres. The aircraft of choice for mountain and remote-location access missions in the Himalayas and Karakoram.
AW139 / AW169
The AgustaWestland AW139 is the benchmark twin-engine VIP helicopter for medium-heavy missions. A full executive interior with conference seating, exceptional range and all-weather capability make it the preferred choice for corporate groups and offshore energy sector operations.
EC130 / H130
The Airbus EC130 (H130) offers the widest single-engine helicopter cabin in its class, with a Fenestron tail rotor that dramatically reduces external noise. Particularly popular for aerial tours, filming, and VIP tourism where noise impact and visibility are priorities.
