01 — About

The brief.

Toronto Heli Tours is a commercial helicopter sightseeing operator flying from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport on the Toronto Islands, in business since 1997. The fleet seats three passengers plus pilot, with every seat a window seat, and flies at 2,000 feet above the city. The shorter eight-minute Heli Tour #1 covers downtown from the CNE grounds east to the Don Valley, with a close pass of the CN Tower; the fourteen-minute Heli Tour #2 extends the loop 35 km to take in Casa Loma, High Park, and the Brick Works. Three private "Romantic" packages adapt the same routes for couples, including a sunset Romantic Interlude limited to one flight per evening. Office hours run Wednesday through Sunday, 10 am to 6 pm.
