helikan

Helikan, registered as Helikan S.A. de C.V., is a helicopter company in the Mexican Caribbean with a base in Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo, and a second departure point in Cancún. Booking site listings describe a heliport on the roof of a shopping centre in Cancún's hotel zone and state more than 25 years of experience.

Its former website divided the offer into three products. SkyBridge was a point-to-point transfer service linking destinations in Quintana Roo, such as Cancún, Cozumel and Tulum. SkyAdventure covered private and shared sightseeing flights over the coast, and SkyElite was an executive transport service with pick-up at a requested landing point. The site also listed air taxi, charter, air ambulance and search and rescue flights.

The website named the aircraft as a twin-turbine Sikorsky S-76A++ with seating for up to 12 passengers and instrument equipment for night and poor-weather flying, based in Playa del Carmen.

The company's own website is no longer online, so travellers should confirm current routes, prices and aircraft directly or through an activity booking platform before travelling, and check which helipad or airfield a flight departs from.
