Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

The combined synopsis lists an estimated total contract value of $45,820, which appears low for a five‑year helicopter service. Considering typical costs for a light helicopter lease, crew salaries, maintenance, fuel‑service vehicle, insurance, and support equipment, a realistic range is likely between $0.5 million and $2 million over the five‑year period. Factors influencing the final amount include the specific make/model of the helicopter, mileage/flight hours, insurance rate adjustments, and any optional services.
