Kawasaki Heavy Industries Group's Z-Leg™ Helicopter Service Launches "Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay Sky Cruise" Plan with Benefits

Kawasaki Heavy Industries Group's Z-Leg™ helicopter arrangement service has introduced a new plan titled "Sky Cruise recommended by pilots, touring Mt. Fuji and Suruga Bay!" This special sky cruise offers a unique aerial experience with a "benefit plan." The travel cost is 550,000 JPY (tax included) for a charter accommodating up to five passengers. Flights depart from and arrive at Shizuoka Heliport, providing a 30-minute sightseeing tour. Departure dates are available from April 2026, with scheduling adjusted to customer preferences. Benefits for this plan include a dedicated hired car shuttle service between Shizuoka Station and Shizuoka Heliport, a boarding assistance ticket for a future flight, and an original Z-Leg commemorative helicopter-related gift. The service highlights the use of safety-conscious business twin-engine aircraft and routes selected by experienced pilots. It offers a private, high-quality space for small groups, with full charter flights for up to five people. "Z-Leg™" originated from Kawasaki Heavy Industries' internal "Business Idea Challenge" system, aiming to make air travel more efficient, comfortable, and accessible. Applications for this plan are accepted via the dedicated website (https://www.z-leg.com/) of Kawasaki Gifu Service Co., Ltd., a Kawasaki Heavy Industries Group company (Gifu Prefecture Governor Registered Travel Agency No. 2-361). Safety measures include the adoption of twin-engine helicopters (e.g., BK117 series) for safe flight even in the event of engine failure, partnerships with air transport operators experienced in doctor-helicopter and fire/disaster prevention helicopter operations, and the provision of alternative transportation (e.g., long-distance hired cars) in case of flight cancellation due to adverse weather.
