Apparently the first passenger helicopter service was in 1950, so I was out by 20 years. It's a bit of a grey area when they switched from "weapon of war" to "flying taxi", but it would be somewhere around the 40s.
I still find it insane that the helicopter was invented only 20 years after the car.
