Since inception in 2012, FlyNYON has flown over 750,000 passengers. FlyNYON’s CEO & Founder Patrick K. Day, a third generation military veteran and aviator, has combined his industry expertise with an innovative way of thinking. By embracing the power of social media, technology, customer care, and direct-to-consumer marketing, FlyNYON has helped expand aerial experiences to an entirely new audience.
1. Direct to Consumer Pricing
From our humble beginnings, NYONair has grown organically to a social media following close to 1.4 million followers across Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat. Breaking the conventional need for “middlemen” and secondary resellers, the the relationship between the company and customer has fundamentally changed.
More importantly, our products are not victim to hefty upfront fees traditional sightseeing companies get charged allowing us to pass these savings to our customers!
Our Direct to Consumer model is made possible by engaging content, influencer collaborations and word of mouth marketing. Today’s audience seeks more than just traditional aerial flights, they yearn for a differentiated experience with a unique access to the skies that can be projected outward to their social channels & networks.
2. Technology
The helicopter market as a whole has yet to adapt to the ever-advancing world of technology.
FlyNYON’s in-house web development team created a proprietary software to streamline the booking process from start-to-finish. This software allows us to take advantage of crowdsourcing technologies to maximize passenger capacities on every single flight. Our software has endless potential to completely change the way that helicopter operators function as organizations. FlyNYON’s flight management software has allowed our business to keep up with the growing demands of our clients without growing our operations staff making a significant impact on our balance sheet.
3. Customer Focused Experience
At FlyNYON, we take great pride in treating each passenger like part of the NYON family. Our state-of-the-art 10,000 square foot terminal was designed with our customer’s comfort at its forefront. This casual environment allows our staff to get to know each passenger personally and tailor each experience to their needs. Our CEO wanted to create a terminal that would act as an on ramp to help introduce passengers to the world of helicopter flights. Our helicopter mockup and visible operations center allow guests to get a taste of the industry without leaving the ground.
From the moment you step into the NYON Terminal, you can feel that our process differs from our competitors. At FlyNYON, we believe in a thorough and interactive connection with each passenger which creates a superior experience – an experience worth sharing with the world!
4. Aircraft Fleet, Pilots, and Heliport
Our fleet is comprised of Bell 206 L3 and L4 turbine helicopters with club seating configurations. This configuration gives fliers maximum visibility out of both sides of the aircraft & a more interpersonal experience with your fellow passengers.
No matter how large our social media following or how great our technology is, our pilots are the nucleus of the company! These highly trained pilots are masters of skies & experts at setting up shots to ensure fliers are in the best possible positions to take advantage of the Ultimate Helicopter Photo Experience.
At FlyNYON, we continue to live by one simple mission, to bring the beauty and experience of aerial visuals to the masses. We look forward to seeing you in the skies!
