Helicopter Passenger Holds / Passenger Cabins

Helicopter passenger holds vary in size and comfort depending on the type of helicopter. Obviously the smaller the helicopter the smaller the passenger hold, as the size of the helicopter increases so normally does the number of seats. This does not necessarily mean more room for the passengers within, any extra room could now be taken up with the extra seats. It is only when you get to the larger VIP twin engine helicopters that there is more room for each individual passenger.
