• Quantity: Only one piece of luggage is permitted per passenger.
• Excess Baggage: Additional or heavy baggage is typically not allowed on board.
• Prohibited Items: Sharp objects, hazardous materials, and dangerous goods are strictly prohibited. 

Recommendations & Tips:

• Essential Items: Only carry personal, essential items like wallets, mobile phones, medicines, and essential clothing in the helicopter.
• Weighing: Be prepared for your baggage to be weighed at the helipad, as weight limits are strictly enforced for safety.
