Great flight school! I trained and flew with NYC Air Service and received my private pilots…read morecertificate in less than a year. Now I'm currently training for my instrument rating with NYC Air Service and I highly recommend them for flight training or scenic trips around the Manhattan skyline. Their instructors are great and provide a unique training atmosphere. They are always available to answer any questions you may have. Their fleet of aircraft are maintained very well, always clean and some of the best to learn on.

Decided to bring my grandfather here as a gift, I told him about a week in advance. When we got…read morethere, the instructions on where to go were not clear. We arrived late which was our doing since we left a little later than expected. When we got to the front desk, my grandfather backed out sadly, and did not want to go. The employee Georgie there was super sweet and nice, but the owner I'm guessing, Vincent, he had no understanding whatsoever. He was an older gentleman, and when I told him about trying to reschedule or something because of my grandfather he just smirked and told me they can't do anything, and I could come alone if I'd like. Out of human decency, I decided not to fly by myself, and comfort my grandpa which Georgie was kind enough to help me with. To Vincent, it is not about the money, it's about the morals you have as a person. I don't care about your policy, I've had many companies with strict policies help in serious circumstances. You are just a money hungry snob, by how you perceived yourself.

Because of him, I'll be booking their helicopter flight for my sister's family when they visit. Here are the details: I received an email the night before my booked flight stating that, due to maintenance, the flight needed to be canceled. I didn't see the email until I got a text on the day of the flight. No problem--Kevin came to the rescue. I quickly called Heliflights and explained to Kevin that I would lose out on using a Groupon because it was set to expire the following Tuesday. In addition, I had trouble receiving an email to reset my password, which I needed in order to reschedule. Within two minutes, Kevin rebooked a flight for me. While explaining the details, he also managed to send me a confirmation email of our agreement (honoring the Groupon after the expiration date) and another email to reset my password. That's problem-solving skills and customer satisfaction all done with efficiency--and without me spending more time on the phone or computer. Thank you again, Kevin, and thank you, Heliflights!

Going in I was a bit nervous, having never flown in such a small plane, but the owner and the pilot could not have put my mind more at ease faster. They were both unbelievably friendly, professional, and the excitement started building immediately. The tour itself exceeded any expectations I could have had. Incredible views flying from Linden airport toward Manhattan, cutting through Central Park, and spectacular views of the Statue of Liberty. The ride was smooth, enjoyable, and I felt completely safe - which is saying a lot considering my nerves coming in! I can't recommend the experience of flying with Azzurra tours over NYC enough, truly a bucket list experience!

Are they cheap? No. Will they save your ass when you're stuck at JFK for 12 hours? Yup. Thank you…read morefor truly making our dreams come true with less than an hour of notice. Apologies as this has been sitting as a draft review from June 2022. My dad bought us once in a lifetime seats for the Warriors v Celtics finals as a bucket list trip, but we were stuck at JFK all day due to security ground stops in Boston. We flew in the night before, but after 8 hours of flight delays and 2+ hours back and forth on the tarmac, we needed to find a way to Boston in spite of all rental cars and train seats being sold out. We were desperate! I called around and no charter could get us to Boston. We are by no means ballers, but I fly small planes as a hobby, so I called a dozen FBOs and Wings Air was the only answer to our prayers. They managed to get us to a nearby regional airport with only one hour notice, and arranged a car to bring us to TD Arena in time to watch most of the game where we wound up winning. Thank you so much for coming through when no one else could. This is a memory we will cherish forever.

The morning of our reservation, they cancelled our flight…read more While other flight times were offered later that evening, sadly none of them worked. Things happen, they had a more important flight to take care of, which is understandable...but the followup service with this company offers more spin than a rotor blade. Management only offered a 3 week window to rebook our flight, heading into the holidays. When asked to provide a longer window to rebook my time, they just provided more information on why I should have been prepared for this to happen, like it was my fault. I would keep your expectations grounded with Wings. EDIT - Manager's desperate reply with erroneous details below should tell you all you need to know. Our flight voucher was valid and they accepted it...until they didn't. Beware.

Had the privilege of going up with the fine folks at Sky River on Sunday, December 6th 2015…read more Pure professionals all the way. Upon arrival my fiancée and I were greeted by our pilot, Mark, as well as the owner and his wife. Very friendly and made us feel welcome! We didn't waste much time, and I had the privilege of watching pilot Mark do his pre-flight. He was very thorough and I could tell the bird was immaculately maintained. Shortly thereafter we were strapped in and on our way! Having only been my 2nd helicopter flight, I was geeking out the whole time, and Mark was on top of his game. Soon we were circling around the statue of liberty and on our way up the Hudson. Great views of the Freedom Tower and we went north, uptown and over the GWB before starting our return to Pittstown. Landing was flawless, came in with plenty of ground speed before smoothly exiting the active and calling it in. Pro. Pictures and words don't do it justice, this was one of the greatest experiences of my life!! Highly recommend stopping in for a quick flight (or lessons, or a license)!

Because of the reviews about the instructors...I went with the further location. Wade Krepps was our pilot and he was absolutely amazing. Off the bat, you can see his passion for flying and was easily sociable. My bf was nervous at first but with Wade's positive feedback and encouragement made the flight an excellent experience. Thank you Wade, you've made this experience a very memorable one. We will definitely recommend to our friends and family! OH! And the owner, Maria...was easily reachable. She gave me her personal number because I was a little worried about the weather last week. Also, we were running 10 minutes late. She was very accommodating about it as well.

They dont have a solid structure and they dont even teach right. The people that do the final test is in this conspirancy and obviously they want you to fail so you keep paying hours and tests. i have seen very few people pass. When you go to PA for the final test is like you going to trail to fight for your life, they have these mean faces and build this horrible tension in the air. That is so unnecessary! i hope somebody gets to expose this conspirancy, because some people is really trying to get better in life and is hard to be in a school where they dont want you to succeed. is not a secret that all this people know each other and they have one goal...keep you stuck at school paying for more hours whenever you go to PA for your final test just keep one thing in mind, it doesnt matter how prepared you are...you will fail they will find the most stupid escused to fail you My advised for you is to find a good school obviously not this one. there is couple of good people that work there and i hate to do this but heyyyy its my life and im paying for this and i have put all my effort to succeed in this and so far i crash into brick wall

Despite finishing everything, they never submitted my certificate to the FMCSA as promised, which has blocked me from moving forward with my testing. Instead, they push students to test only at their own facility, charging $450 for every retest if you fail once. Because they won't submit the certificate, you're not even able to test at a public state facility. To me, this feels like unethical practices, if not a scam. I've called countless times over the past four months with no resolution or follow-up. My permit is now about to expire, and I've had no choice but to report them to the Better Business Bureau. This whole process has been a financial burden, a huge waste of time, and a constant source of frustration. Poor communication, lack of accountability, and questionable practices make this academy one I strongly warn others to avoid.
