Why touring teams use SkyMatch

SkyMatch is a helicopter charter coordination platform, not an operator. Flights are performed and contracted by suitable licensed third-party operators, subject to aircraft and crew availability, local regulations, landing-site approval and weather.

One request point

Instead of finding a helicopter provider in each city yourself, send the mission requirements once. We source operators in each market and come back with the options that exist.

Complex itineraries

A run can involve several countries, airports, venues, festivals and hotels. The whole itinerary is handled through one coordination contact rather than separate local bookings.

Built around the deadline

Planning starts from the arrival time you need — soundcheck, load-in, doors or stage time — and works backwards through the road leg, turnaround and flight, with a buffer written in.

Private jet connections

Helicopter options are coordinated around the tour aircraft’s actual arrival or departure at the FBO, so the jet is not held on the ground waiting for ground transport.

Multi-leg planning

Airport to venue, venue to hotel, hotel to the next airport, festival to festival — legs can be requested together and quoted as one plan.

Event and festival traffic

Where road access around a site becomes unpredictable, a helicopter leg can protect the schedule. Where the road leg is short and clear, we will say so.

Discretion

Movements are treated as confidential and briefs can be issued under NDA. Operators receive only the operational information they need to fly; the artist's public name is not required to source a flight.

Short-notice requests

Touring schedules change. Urgent requests are accepted and sourced, subject to aircraft, crew and landing availability on the day — nothing is confirmed until the operator confirms it.

Tour movement brief

  • Departure point (airport, FBO, venue, hotel or festival)
  • Destination point
  • Date and the time you must be on the ground
  • Number of passengers, split by artist, management, security and crew
  • Luggage and case list — dimensions and weights where you have them
  • Instruments travelling in the cabin
  • Private jet details: airport, tail arrival time, FBO
  • Additional legs and any return flight
  • The next scheduled commitment after this movement
  • How flexible the timing is, and your ground fallback

Pricing is quotation-based

What moves the price

  • Aircraft class and passenger or baggage capacity required
  • Flight time and the operator's positioning to and from the start point
  • Waiting time between legs on a show day
  • Landing and handling fees at each point
  • Night operation, if the departure falls after last light
  • Date pressure — peak festival weekends draw on a small local fleet
  • Number of legs and whether one aircraft can cover the whole run

There is no published fixed price for a show-day transfer. The operator issues the figure for your specific legs, on top of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, where a suitable landing area is available at or near the venue. Where there is none, we use the closest heliport or airfield and coordinate the short secure road leg with your ground team.

Sometimes. Festival landing areas need the organiser's agreement plus local authority and airspace approval, and they are usually planned weeks ahead. We confirm feasibility with the organiser and operator rather than assuming it.

One brief covers the whole run: show dates, load-in and stage times, party size and baggage. We coordinate operators in each market through a single point of contact instead of separate local bookings.

Night operations depend on the aircraft, crew qualification and whether the landing site is lit and approved for night use. Late departures after a show are often possible, but only where the operator confirms it in advance.

Baggage volume drives aircraft selection more often than passenger count. Give us the case list and party size and we size the aircraft, or split heavy freight to road transport.

It depends on aircraft class, flight time, positioning, waiting time between legs and any night operation. A fixed all-in figure is issued with the proposal before anything is committed.

Movements are treated as confidential, briefs can be issued under NDA, and operators receive only the operational information required to fly.

Yes, at airports with FBO access where the operator can position on the apron. The connection is coordinated with the FBO and handling agent, and should still carry a buffer for the jet's actual arrival.

That is one of the most common uses in electronic touring — two or three sites in different regions across a weekend, where road or ferry timings would not allow both sets.

Yes. Airport to venue, venue to hotel, hotel to the next airport, festival to festival — send them as one itinerary and they are sourced and quoted together rather than as separate bookings.

Usually yes, as waiting time priced into the quote, provided crew duty limits and the landing site's opening or night approval allow it. Give the realistic curtain time rather than the ticketed finish.

Both are common. Artist and management often fly first with crew and cases following, and two aircraft can be requested where the party or baggage exceeds one cabin — subject to availability in that market.

Short-notice requests are accepted and sourced immediately, but feasibility depends on aircraft, crew and landing availability on the day. Nothing is confirmed until the operator issues a contractual confirmation.

No. SkyMatch Group is a global helicopter charter brokerage and coordination service connecting clients with suitable licensed helicopter operators. The operator holds the AOC and is responsible for the flight.
