If you’re looking for the perfect gift for someone who has everything, a Flying M Air gift certificate might be the answer. And because our gift certificates are per flight (not per person), they make a great gift for couples or groups of up to three people.
Flying M Air offers gift certificates for all of its tours, day trips, and multi-day excursions. This year, we’re also offering gift certificates for specific dollar amounts that can be applied to any Flying M Air service.

In an effort to continue growing its business, Flying M Air has relocated its helicopter to Phoenix, AZ. Starting in September 2009, the company will be operating out of Deer Valley Airport (DVT) in north Phoenix. Flying M Air will continue to offer flights from other Phoenix-area airports, including Scottsdale, Glendale, and Sky Harbor, but will discontinue tours and day trips from Wickenburg.
The move to Phoenix has dramatically cut costs to operate from Phoenix-area airports. Flying M Air no longer has a one-hour round trip ferry flight between Wickenburg and the Phoenix area. As a result, the company is able to cut its prices on tours and day trips from Phoenix, making them more attractive to potential clients and Phoenix-area hotel concierges looking for interesting activities for guests.
“Keeping the helicopter based in Wickenburg was bad for business,” says Flying M Air’s Chief Pilot, Maria Langer. “There’s virtually no customer base up there and the cost of flying down to Phoenix for our customers was forcing us to price our services much higher than our competition. Now, with the helicopter conveniently based at Deer Valley, we can service all of Phoenix more cost-effectively.”
The resulting change in Flying M Air’s pricing structure was dramatic. An hour-long tour of Phoenix that was $795 for up to 3 passengers is now only $495. Day trips to Sedona that previously sold for $1,495 are now $1,295.
“The helicopter is now based at an executive jet center,” Langer says. “It’s in a clean, insulated and secure hangar. The manager of the facility is anxious to help us promote our services. And best of all, I don’t have to drag the helicopter in and out of the hangar anymore. There’s a line staff to do it for me!”

After an unsatisfactory experiment with per-person pricing, Flying M Air is returning to per-flight pricing for its tours and day trips. We’ve learned that per-flight pricing is easier to calculate and understand and fairer for our passengers. After all, a flight costs the same no matter how many people are on board — why should we charge a different price depending on the number of passengers?
All per flight pricing covers up to three passengers unless otherwise indicated. In general, Flying M Air can fly up to three passengers on all tours and day trips. We limit our passenger load to two passengers for overnight excursions or any flights requiring us to carry luggage or equipment, as well as some photo flights.
We’ve published our 2009/2010 Season pricing on our Web site. PDF descriptions of our flights may still indicate old pricing; we’ll replace those documents over the coming weeks. You may notice that our pricing has stayed the same or even been reduced for many of our tours and day trips. Increased flight hours and a new insurance provider have enabled us to keep our pricing low.
