US Helicopter Expands Airport Shuttle to Service Midtown Manhattan



    US Helicopter Corporation ("US Helicopter") (OTC Bulletin Board:
    USHP) announced today it will expand its scheduled, airport shuttle to
    service midtown businesses and hotels, operating between the East 34th
    Street Heliport and John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and
    Newark Liberty Intl. Airport. The additional routes will commence on
    February 5, 2007.

    US Helicopter is expanding service to accommodate the midtown
    area's high traffic, making business travel more convenient for all of
    Manhattan with an eight-minute airport commute. Service from the East
    34th Street Heliport to JFK and Newark will initially serve the
    afternoon demand - with ten flights to/from JFK and ten flights
    to/from Newark.

    "Following the launch of our service from the Downtown Manhattan
    Heliport, we received an overwhelming response from the midtown
    business community inquiring when we would launch service from their
    area," commented Jerry Murphy, chief executive officer and president
    of US Helicopter. "We are thrilled to now be serving these businesses
    by providing their travelers the convenience of the proximity of the
    heliport to their offices, mirroring that convenience of the existing
    Downtown Manhattan Heliport scheduled airline shuttle service for Wall
    Street."

    US Helicopter provides the business traveler with a reliable,
    convenient and affordable solution to the ever-dreaded airport
    commute, eliminating the hassle and uncertainty of road delays and
    security lines at the airport. All US Helicopter passengers traveling
    through East 34th Street clear federally regulated TSA security at the
    heliport. US Helicopter passengers traveling on airline partners
    American Airlines at JFK or Continental Airlines at Newark will be
    able to conveniently check in, receive their boarding passes and
    through-check their bags to their final destination. After an eight
    minute flight, customers will arrive on the secure side where they
    will be able to proceed directly to the departure gates when traveling
    with a partner airline.

    Federally regulated security is made possible by TSA's Screening
    Partnership Program (SPP). The program, designed to meet requirements
    established by the Aviation and Transportation Security Act of 2001,
    allows US Helicopter, under contract with McNeil Security, to provide
    the screening personnel, while the TSA supplies the certified security
    equipment and oversight.

    Mr. Murphy stated, "For visiting business travelers, our service
    to East 34th Street delivers them closer to the many hotels located in
    midtown." Now that US Helicopter will be serving both New York City
    Heliports to/from JFK and Newark Airports, time-sensitive business
    travelers will save upwards of two plus hours of their valuable time,
    each-way.

    The ticket price between the East 34th Street Heliport and JFK or
    Newark begins at $169 one-way, plus applicable security tax. For more
