Quote:It's quite common in mountenous and other areas that are dificult to acsess with a large truck.
I don't think I've ever seen or heard of a chopper being used for cargo
When a delivery needs to be made (such as a granite table for the garden, which was my personal experience with it) it's subcontracted to a company that specializes in these sort of things, and they hold the orders untill they have enough in one area (such as one side of a mountain) that they will be busy all day doing deliveries.
You can of course also request a rush delivery in which case they do it before they have a full load, but that is far more expensive, because getting the materials to the temporary home base and the fuel to get the helicopter there and back is dived over less deliveries, and the pilot is still paid for a full day. Typical delay between runs in the same area tends to be between one and three months, or at least that's how it was in Belinzona.
Some helicopters are also used for express delivery of stuff but because of the cost it is relativly rare. If helicopter operating expenses came down for some reaon (such as more efficient engines, or something) then that would become a lot more common, which would drive economies of scale to further lower the price.
