Heliport Atlas

HeliportsinDetroit

The FAA records 34 operational heliports and helipads within 25 miles of Detroit. Not one of them is designated public use, so every arrival is by the owner's permission. A charter operator arranges that permission while planning the flight, which is why the owner contact on a record matters more than the pad does.

What is actually here

  • 18 Corporate / private
  • 15 Hospital / medical
  • 1 Government / public safety

They sit across Detroit (6), Dearborn (3), Novi (3), Farmington Hills (2), Orchard Lake (2), Utica (2), and other communities in the metro.

Heliports only. Airports are a separate class of facility and are not counted here, and a charter into Detroit may well work from one.

Every heliport within 25 miles of Detroit

Distance is measured from the middle of Detroit, so the top of this list is what sits closest to town. Pad size is the landing area, not the property. Open any record on the map for surface, lighting, elevation, inspection date, and the owner contact that gets you permission.

Common questions

How many heliports are in Detroit?

The FAA records 34 operational heliports and helipads within 25 miles of Detroit. Of those, 15 are hospital or medical pads and 18 are corporate or private sites.

Are there public-use heliports in Detroit?

No. Every one of the 34 heliports in the Detroit area is private use, which means landing starts with permission from the owner or manager. A charter operator arranges that as part of planning the flight. The public-use designation is rare everywhere: only 56 heliports carry it nationally.

Does this include Detroit airports?

No. Airports are a separate class of facility, and a charter flight into Detroit may well use one: helicopters operate from airport ramps and FBOs as a matter of routine. This list covers heliports and helipads, the sites the FAA registers specifically for helicopter operations.
