Helicopter Transfer Windsor to Detroit

The transfer from Windsor to Detroit covers a mere nine nautical miles across the river that divides Canada from the United States, one of the shortest city-to-city connections imaginable and a natural candidate for travel by helicopter. A refined machine such as the Airbus H130 completes the crossing in only a couple of minutes, lifting from the Canadian shore and setting down on the American side almost before the traveller has settled. On so brief a flight the helicopter never climbs far, yet it offers a memorable view of the Detroit River and the skylines of the two cities facing one another across the water. Departures are arranged from Windsor International Airport, gateway to Ontario’s southernmost city, where guests transfer directly to the aircraft for the short hop north. Detroit, the destination, is the historic heart of the American automotive industry, a city undergoing a spirited revival with a renewed downtown, a celebrated musical heritage that gave the world Motown, and cultural institutions such as the Detroit Institute of Arts. Its riverfront and revitalised districts have drawn fresh interest from business and leisure travellers alike. This route suits executives with commitments on both sides of the border, particularly within the automotive sector that straddles the river, as well as travellers connecting through Detroit’s major international airport. Though the distance is short, the border crossing by road can involve lengthy delays at the tunnel and bridge, and a private helicopter offers a swift and dignified alternative that keeps the traveller firmly in command of their schedule.
