Helicopter flight regulations over Paris for everyone’s safety

Helicopter flight regulations have evolved considerably over the past decade. There are a number of reasons for the strict flight conditions in Paris. It’s essential to be aware of them to organize your helicopter tour in the best possible way.

The safety of Parisians:

  • Overflights are prohibited over Paris intramuros and certain areas of the Paris region.
  • Only twin-engine helicopters are authorized to take off and land from the Paris heliport.
  • The helicopter must land at the heliport 30 minutes after sunset, in accordance with aeronautical night constraints.

Helicopter noise :

  • Helicopter flights must exceed 1 hour to limit noise pollution. The helicopter can cover a larger area, thus limiting noise pollution to a specific zone.
  • Flights of less than 1 hour are authorized on condition that there is a stopover of at least 45 minutes. This reduces noise pollution for local residents and animals.

Environmental constraints:

  • The helicopters used are recent and comply with government directives on environmental protection. Greenhouse gas emissions are low, and the manufacturing process is modernized to reduce the consumption of natural resources.

  • Is the flight subject to weather conditions?

    Yes, like all helicopter flights, this experience is subject to the weather conditions prevailing at the time of takeoff.
