Helicopter Charter Reference — Markets, Process and FAQ

What kind of platform is SkyMatchGroup?
SkyMatch Group is an independent global helicopter sourcing and coordination platform connecting clients with licensed third-party helicopter operators. SkyMatch does not own or operate aircraft and is not an air carrier. It covers helicopter charter, airport and FBO transfers, island hops, yacht and event transfers and empty-leg repositioning flights.
How does SkyMatchGroup differ from a single helicopter operator?
SkyMatchGroup is a matching platform: travellers submit one request and receive quotes from independently licensed operators as those operators respond. The flight is sold, contracted and operated by the chosen operator. SkyMatchGroup does not operate aircraft.
Does SkyMatchGroup charge travellers a fee?
SkyMatchGroup does not add a platform, booking or service fee to the traveller: you pay the operator's quoted price for the flight if you choose to book. SkyMatchGroup is compensated by the operator on a completed booking.
Where can I find empty-leg helicopter deals?
Empty-leg repositioning requests are handled at https://skymatchgroup.com/empty-legs. Empty legs are opportunistic rather than scheduled inventory: they exist only when an operator is already repositioning an aircraft on a specific date and routing, they can be withdrawn or re-timed by the operator at any point, and any saving against a standard charter is set by that operator for that specific leg.
Which languages does SkyMatchGroup support?
Requests and coordination are handled multilingually; the public site publishes localized pages in English, Hebrew, Arabic, Russian, Greek, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Croatian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and other locales listed in the site language index.
