Who owns an Helicopter in Kenya?.

Here is the list of all Kenyan Individuals who currently own their very own helicopters in the country.

Kenya is full of extremely rich people who are in a position to buy and own their own choppers, considering the fact that the lowest price of one Helicopter in Kenya is Ksh. 210 Million.

Other than the price of buying an Helicopter, you should also consider that a helicopter flying in the Kenyan sky can consume fuel worth nothing less than Ksh 25,000 per hour.

Helicopter owners in Kenya who have to park their machines in an airport are charged Ksh. 1,000 just to land their helicopters in a kenyan airport such as JKIA or Wilson Airport.

If the helicopter is spending the night parked in a Kenyan Airport, the owner is expected to pay Ksh. 10,000 (average) per night.

The cost of having a personal pilot in Kenya is also extremely high not mentioning that a chopper or a helicopter in Kenya will cost the owner over Ksh. 5 Million for insurance only.

For those individuals who don’t own a helicopter in the country can also hire a locally owned helicopter and fly to wherever they want to in the country.

If you are thinking of hiring an helicopter, you should put in mind that the more advanced and latest, a helicopter or chopper is, the more you will be charged to hire it.

But on an average basis, an helicopter in Kenya can be hired per minute, hour or per day.

The cost of hiring an helicopter varies depending on certain factors as mentioned above, but it is safe to say that it will cost you nothing less thank Ksh. 150,000 per hour to hire and fly around with an helicopter in the country.
