Helicopters in GTA 6

Helicopters appear in GTA 6 trailer footage, continuing a series tradition that dates back to Vice City's police choppers. With GTA 6's map spanning an entire state — city, islands, wetlands, and mountains — vertical travel is more valuable than ever, and the trailers show helicopters both as police response units and as player-reachable vehicles.

The specific models shown have not been officially named, but the footage includes news-style and police helicopters over Vice City, consistent with the series' established air-traffic simulation.

Air travel in Leonida

GTA 5's map was built around aircraft, and GTA 6's state of Leonida — with its scale and geographic diversity — is a natural step up. Beyond helicopters, fans are watching for whether Rockstar restores GTA 5's full fixed-wing aircraft roster, though trailers have only confirmed rotary-wing aircraft so far.

For chases, getaways, and sightseeing over the Keys, the helicopter remains GTA's ultimate freedom machine. Browse the complete vehicle database for everything else confirmed.

Helicopters also raise the ceiling on GTA 6's exploration: a state-sized map with mountains in Mount Kalaga, islands in the Keys, and the sprawl of Vice City is best appreciated from altitude, and series tradition says Rockstar will reward pilots who go looking — hidden rooftops, remote clearings, and the kind of sights only visible from a cockpit door.
