A helicopter can cover a short leg from Baltimore when the landing points and the weather allow it, and your advisor will tell you clearly whether it works.
The Agusta A109 entered service in 1996. It seats 6 to 7 with a published range of 500 nautical miles and a cruise speed of 154 knots. The aircraft has a service ceiling of 19,685 feet and 34 cubic feet of baggage volume.

Why the Agusta A109 Fits Baltimore
Summer weekends to the Eastern Shore and Ocean City book up early, so tell us your dates as soon as they are set.
A helicopter leg around Baltimore depends on the landing points at both ends and the day’s weather, and we check with operators before telling you it will work.
How Baltimore Clients Use the Agusta A109
For many short trips around Maryland, a car or a small airplane works better than a helicopter, and your advisor will be honest about that.
The figures here describe the AW109 Power, the version most often in service today. It takes six to seven passengers, cruises at about 154 knots and has up to 34 cubic feet of baggage space in an external compartment, so soft bags travel better than hard cases. Your advisor will tell you whether a helicopter makes sense for any part of your trip around Maryland.
Share the route, how many are flying and how much they are bringing, and your advisor will say whether this type is the right fit or suggest one that is.
