NEW YORK, March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- U.S. Helicopter Corporation ("USH") (OTC Bulletin Board: USHP - News), announced today that it commenced flight operations on March 27, 2006 between the Downtown Manhattan Heliport (near Wall Street and the East River) and John F. Kennedy Airport.

USH's Metro-hop Airport Shuttle Service (MASS) in the Metro New York City market currently provides scheduled passenger helicopter service between Kennedy Airport and the Downtown Manhattan Heliport. USH is offering 24 daily flights, aboard Sikorsky S-76 helicopters that seat eight passengers and two pilots.

Chief Executive Officer and President, Jerry Murphy said, "Our customer is going to be the regular business traveler, executives, managers or supervisors who would otherwise take a Town Car or limousine service. New York City receives a lot of complaints for traffic and gridlock," he added. "We could have started in a small city but why not start it in a place that needs it the most?"

USH plans to ramp up its New York operations throughout 2006 and the first half of 2007. Initially its service will operate from the Downtown Manhattan Heliport to Kennedy Airport. USH plans to add passenger helicopter service to LaGuardia Airport during the second quarter of 2006
