Tell us what you need to capture, where and when. Aerial still photography, moving footage and specialist surveys have different equipment and crew requirements; SkyMatch reviews the brief before approaching licensed operators.

  • Shot list: subjects, viewing angles, filming window and location permissions.
  • Equipment: exact camera system, mounts, crew and weights; doors-off operation is a requirement to assess.
  • Confirmation: aircraft, availability, weather, airspace, landings and final price are operator decisions.

Luxury resort & private island transfer

The resort is booked, the flights are booked, and the last 40 kilometres — the part that decides whether the first day is spent travelling or on the water — is still unsolved.

You have the villa, the suite or the private island. What is missing is the transfer that turns a long boat or road connection into a short flight, with luggage handled and the resort expecting you. SkyMatch takes your arrival details to licensed operators who already fly into that landing area and comes back with what is genuinely available.

Send arrival flight, date, passenger count and luggage. SkyMatch checks suitable operators and comes back with real options — not a brochure.

What to include in the brief

  • · Resort, villa or island name
  • · Arrival flight number and landing time
  • · Passengers (adults / children)
  • · Luggage: number of bags plus anything oversized
  • · Return leg date, if known

How pricing works

Any figure shown on this page is indicative planning guidance only. The final quote depends on aircraft type, routing, landing permissions, timing, weather and operator availability, and is confirmed by the operator flying the mission.

How availability works

Availability is never assumed. SkyMatch asks suitable licensed operators what is genuinely open for your date and time, and tells you plainly when a request is not realistic rather than holding you on a maybe.

SkyMatch is an independent helicopter sourcing and coordination platform. We are not tied to one operator, so the aircraft suggested is the one that suits your landing area, load and timing — not the one someone needs to fill.

FAQ

Aerial Photography Helicopter Charter — common questions

Include this in your brief. SkyMatch must confirm that the aircraft configuration, equipment, restraints and procedures are suitable and permitted; it is not a standard inclusion.

Provide the exact camera and mount specifications. Approved installation and availability must be confirmed by the operator for the proposed aircraft.

SkyMatch confirms aviation permissions and flight feasibility. The production team must identify any separate landowner or filming-consent requirements, with responsibilities stated in the quote.

Price is on request and confirmed by the operator per mission, based on aircraft, positioning, flight time, crew, equipment and approvals.

Sometimes. Some resorts hold their own approved helipad, others use a nearby airfield or public landing area with a short ground transfer. SkyMatch checks the landing option with the operator and the property before anything is confirmed, so you know exactly where you step out.

Luggage is a weight and volume question, not a bag count. Golf bags, dive gear, pushchairs and hard cases change the aircraft choice. Declare everything in the brief and the operator sizes the helicopter to the real load rather than reshuffling it at the pad.

Send the request as soon as your arrival flight is fixed. Landing slots and suitable aircraft in resort markets are finite in high season, and early briefs get the better options.
