Common questions
How many helicopters are registered in Hawaii?
127 manned helicopters hold a valid FAA registration at a Hawaii address in the file dated 14 September 2026, 1 percent of the national fleet. 65 are turbine powered and 62 piston. The address is the registrant's, so a leased or trust-held aircraft can be registered in one state and based in another.
What is the most common helicopter in Hawaii?
MD 500 series (Hughes 369), with 32 registered in the state, followed by Robinson R44 (31).
How many Hawaii helicopters fly charter?
43 of the 127 helicopters registered in Hawaii appear on an FAA Part 135 certificate, which is the authority an operator needs to carry passengers or cargo for hire. Much of that number is air ambulance and utility work rather than passenger charter.
