New York Airways', the world's first scheduled passenger helicopter airline, inaugurates sightseeing flights from New York City's Battery heliport. 

The flights, which origiginate and terminate from the Battery heliport, will begin at 11:00 a.m., and continue until late in the afternoon. The flights will span five miles of New York's most interesting scenery. 

At the present they will be operated only on Saturdays and Sundays. The cost is six dollars per person including tax. 

Flights will be taken in the Bell-47 H helicopter which has a capacity for two passengers and a pilot. 

The New York Airways' Bell has a plexi-glass bubble enclosure from which the passengers get an unrestricted and incomparable view of Manhattan's marvelous skyline. Those sightseers who are camera bugs, will have an edge over their earth-bound companions as the picture taking potential from the Bell is incomparable. 

Highlights of the helicopter flight will be the close-up of the Statue of Liberty; the view of lower Manhattan as the ship approaches New York; the Wall Street and financial areas; the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan and Brooklyn harbor facilities as well as sea-going ship activities in the harbor. 

New York Airways' scheduled flights, which supply helicopter transportation between New York City's three big airports--Newark, La Guardia and International-- and the mid-Manhattan heliport at West 30th Street and the Hudson River, afford equally wonderful sight seeing facilities in the world's largest passenger helicopters. 

These flights are flown on schedule in the 15-passenger Vertol helicopter which has all the luxury of large fixed wing aircraft. As added advantage there are the round-the-clock service, seats for larger groups and the knowledge that the flights are flown on a schedule with the privilege of making reservations on specific flights.
