Starting March 13, airline passengers will be able to take a helicopter to Kennedy International Airport from the downtown heliport near Wall Street — and clear airport security at the heliport, according to the U.S. Helicopter Corporation. The company plans to use eight-passenger Sikorsky S-76 helicopters. Introductory fares are $139 each way and will eventually rise to $159. Flights will operate daily on the hour from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and land at the new American Airlines Terminal 9, Gate C43.
