**Renting a Helicopter:**
Since purchasing a helicopter is a substantial investment, many individuals and organizations in Bangladesh opt for renting services. The rental costs vary depending on the helicopter model, duration of use, and travel distance. Here's a general overview of helicopter rental prices:
* **Per Hour Rental:** Helicopter rental prices per hour can range from approximately **60,000 BDT to 280,000 BDT** or even higher.
* **Specific Models:**
* **Robinson R-44 (3-4 seats):** Hourly rental around **70,000 BDT - 85,000 BDT** (excluding VAT and extra charges for Fridays/Saturdays and waiting time). The Robinson R-44 typically has a capacity for one pilot and three passengers or one pilot and two passengers with luggage.
* **Robinson R-66 (4 seats):** Hourly rental around **85,000 BDT**. The Robinson R-66 can usually accommodate one pilot and four passengers.

* **Route-based charges:** Some companies offer fixed rates for specific routes, for example, Dhaka to Chittagong might range from **66,000 BDT to 230,000 BDT**.
**Purchasing a Helicopter:**
Information on the direct purchase price of new helicopters in Bangladesh is less readily available publicly. New helicopters are typically acquired through direct contact with manufacturers or authorized dealers. However, considering international prices can give a general idea:
* **New Helicopters:** Prices for new helicopters can range from several hundred thousand to many millions of US dollars, depending on the size, type, features, and manufacturer. For example, a new Robinson R-44 might cost around $400,000 - $500,000 USD or more, while larger, twin-engine helicopters can cost upwards of $5 million USD.
* **Used Helicopters:** The used helicopter market offers a more varied price range depending on the age, condition, and hours flown. Websites specializing in aircraft sales (like Globalair.com) sometimes list used helicopters for sale internationally, and while not specifically in Bangladesh, they can provide a sense of the market value. For instance, a used Robinson R-66 (from 2019) was recently listed for around $1,150,000 USD. Older models can be significantly less expensive.
**Key Considerations:**
* **Purpose:** The intended use of the helicopter (personal transport, business, tourism, medical services, etc.) will heavily influence the type and price.
* **Maintenance and Operational Costs:** Owning a helicopter involves significant ongoing expenses for maintenance, fuel, insurance, and crew.
* **Regulations:** There are regulations and requirements in Bangladesh for owning and operating aircraft, including helicopters, which would need to be considered.
