I'm a pilot looking to start an airplane tour company in my city. Currently there are no airplane tour companies however there is one helicopter one. As the countryside is what people come to see, an aircraft tour seems much more appropriate. I wouls be starting with a single aircraft which i can fly myself temporarily to cut extra costs before hiring pilots/expanding to other cities/buying more aircraft.

This helicopter company has been around for 13 years so I'm assuming business is going well for them.

I am not too confident when it comes to the Need for this. Our city is in one the top destinations for family holidays from northern Europe so marketing and becoming known would be key. Aircraft tours are generally much cheaper than helicopter so accessibility would be much greater for clients.

I noticed people on the forum generally listen for complaints from people in their everyday lives in order to come up with an idea. This was not the case for me thus why I'm not too sure on the Need.

What are some methods to find out the Need for an idea?

Thanks in advance
