[7] In 1962, the U.S. Post Office Department granted San Francisco and Oakland Helicopter Airlines airmail contract number AM-103, allowing it to transport U.S. Mail until 1976.

[8] Also in 1962, SFO Helicopter was operating sight seeing aerial tours on weekends and holidays during the summer months from Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco with a fare of $4.50 for adults and $3.50 for children.

[13] In May 1968, after continuous growth, the company's schedule reached 14 weekday departures from the San Francisco Ferry Building,[14] 11 from Marin, 13 from Berkeley, three from a parking garage in Oakland (known as AlcoPark),[15] and 9 from Lafayette.

The airline was declared bankrupt in July 1970[citation needed] and by the end of the year, destinations had been reduced to Marin, Berkeley, SFO, and OAK.

[20] This same referenced OAG also lists competition from another helicopter airline on the SFO-OAK route: Spirit Heliporter operating 25 round trip flights every weekday with Bell 206 helicopters with this same company also flying 24 round trip flights every weekday between SFO and China Basin in San Francisco.
