The helicopter company, U.S. Helicopter Corporation, which provides eight-minute flights from the Downtown Manhattan Heliport to Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport, said it would add service to those two airports from the city-owned East 34th Street Heliport on Feb. 5. The East Side heliport, like the downtown heliport, will have security screening overseen by the federal Transportation Security Administration that will allow passengers to bypass the security lines at the airports. The one-way fare will be $169. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/24/nyregion/24mbrfs-helicopter.html?ex=1170306000&en=fc0a41ed9a36317c&ei=5070&emc=eta1 ---------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT THIS E-MAIL This e-mail was sent to you by a friend through NYTimes.com's E-mail This Article service.
