Starting March 13, airline passengers will be able to take a helicopter to Kennedy International Airport from the downtown heliport near Wall Street — and clear airport security at the heliport, according to the U.S. Helicopter Corporation. The company plans to use eight-passenger Sikorsky S-76 helicopters. Introductory fares are $139 each way and will eventually rise to $159. Flights will operate daily on the hour from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and land at the new American Airlines Terminal 9, Gate C43. Donal McSullivan, chief marketing officer for the company, said a major selling point was the eight-minute ride, as opposed to 90 minutes or more by taxi or car service. Initially, only American Airlines passengers will benefit from the one-stop heliport screening, but Mr. McSullivan said the company expected eventually to use secure vans to transfer passengers to other terminals. The company expects to expand service in April with flights between Kennedy and the East 34th Street Heliport, and to add service to and from La Guardia and Newark Liberty International Airports later this yea
