The West 30th Street Heliport is a heliport on the west side of Manhattan in New York City. The original heliport opened with two landing pads on September 26, 1956, and that December New York Airways began scheduled passenger flights, the first airline flights to Manhattan.[2] It is owned by the Hudson River Park Trust and operated by Abigail Trenk and Brian Tolbert.
KJRA has one published Instrument Procedures: COPTER RNAV (GPS) 210.[1] Boating traffic in the Hudson River requires care in the approach to the heliport's landing pad.
Tourist flights out of the 30th Street Heliport were scheduled to move to Downtown Manhattan Heliport on March 31, 2010, and the heliport itself was scheduled to relocate by December 31, 2012, as a result of a court agreement between helicopter operators and Friends of Hudson River Park, who took action to enforce the Hudson River Park Act, which banned tourism flights from that location.[3] However, this agreement was voided by state legislation in 2013, and the heliport remains open.[4]
Of the flights, 73% are air taxi, 16% general aviation, 10% commercial, and less than 1% military.
