Times are typical block times for the aircraft usually available in this market, not a schedule. Every leg is priced per mission for the whole aircraft; the quote depends on aircraft, date, positioning and landing permissions.
Estimate São Paulo airport transfers yourself with the helicopter vs car & ferry calculator, the helicopter charter cost calculator and the passenger & luggage calculator. All tools sit together in the helicopter calculators hub.
GRU handles rotary movements by prior arrangement through the operator and the airport authority; most transfers stage from the GA/FBO side rather than the passenger terminal.
Soft bags only on most single-engine types; two cabin bags per passenger is the working assumption. Hard cases and golf travel covers need a twin.
The shortest curated leg is about 12 minutes; the ground or water alternative on the same pairing is measured in hours, not minutes.
Most inbound private jets clear at Congonhas or Guarulhos GA — the helicopter leg is arranged as a separate onward charter, not an airside connection.
