Canary Islands helicopter charter

Yes — private helicopter charter in the Canary Islands can be arranged when a licensed Spanish operator has a suitable aircraft available for your date. As planning figures, Tenerife to La Gomera is roughly 20–25 minutes airborne, Gran Canaria to Fuerteventura around 30, and Lanzarote to Fuerteventura around 15 — against ferry crossings plus road legs either side. Rotary capacity in the archipelago is limited and seasonal, so availability and positioning drive both feasibility and price. SkyMatch Group is a helicopter charter broker and coordination platform; we do not own or operate aircraft, and every flight is performed by the licensed operator under its own certificate.

Private helicopter charter across the Canary Islands: Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma, La Gomera and El Hierro. Indicative flight times, what drives the price, landing limits and a live operator availability check.

Indicative airborne times: Tenerife–La Gomera about 20–25 min, Tenerife–La Palma about 45, Gran Canaria–Fuerteventura about 30, Lanzarote–Fuerteventura about 15, Tenerife–Gran Canaria about 35.
Ferry and scheduled inter-island flights exist and are cheaper. A helicopter is bought where the timetable does not fit, where a yacht or villa is the real endpoint, or where a full day would otherwise be lost to a crossing plus two road legs.
Helicopter charter is priced per aircraft and per mission, never per seat. The drivers are aircraft category, sector time, positioning to and from the operator's base, crew, landing and handling fees, waiting time and season.
Positioning is often the largest single line here, because the rotary fleet based in the islands is small and an aircraft may need to be flown to your departure point for the date.
Landing at a hotel, villa or estate is never assumed. It requires an approved landing area plus operator authorisation and, where relevant, the site owner's permission; otherwise we plan the nearest approved point and a short ground leg.
Yacht and marina transfers are usually planned to a port-side approved area rather than a deck landing. Deck landings require a certified helideck and the captain's and operator's approval.
The Atlantic trade winds and terrain around the western islands genuinely affect routing and timing. Crews assess on the day; no departure time can be guaranteed by SkyMatch or by an operator.
Private jet arrivals at Tenerife South (TFS), Tenerife North (TFN) and Gran Canaria (LPA) are the most common start point for a helicopter continuation, planned with deliberate slack against the jet's estimated arrival.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, subject to a licensed Spanish operator having a suitable aircraft available for your date, acceptable conditions and an approved landing point at both ends. Inter-island rotary capacity is limited, so the earlier the date is sent, the better the options.

As planning figures: Tenerife–La Gomera about 20–25 minutes, Tenerife–La Palma about 45, Tenerife–Gran Canaria about 35, Gran Canaria–Fuerteventura about 30 and Lanzarote–Fuerteventura about 15. Real timing depends on aircraft type, wind, routing and the exact landing point.

There is no fixed tariff. Pricing depends on route distance, helicopter type, positioning, passenger and baggage load, landing requirements, crew and operator availability. Send the sector and date and we will come back with live operator pricing rather than an estimate.

Light single and light twin types such as the Airbus H125 and H130 cover most short island sectors, with intermediate twins used for larger parties, more baggage or over-water preference. The operator proposes the type it can actually provide for your date.

Commonly four to six in light types and up to around seven or eight in intermediate twins, but the real limit is weight and baggage volume on the day, decided by the operator.

Door to door, usually yes, especially where the endpoint is a villa, resort or marina away from the airport. Scheduled inter-island flights are frequent and far cheaper; the helicopter earns its place on timing, privacy and the last mile, not on headline cost.

Only where an approved landing area exists and the operator is authorised to use it, with the site owner's permission where required. Otherwise we plan the nearest approved point and the property handles the short ground leg. This is confirmed before quoting.

We plan yacht and marina movements to an approved area port-side in most cases. Landing on the vessel itself requires a certified helideck plus the operator's and captain's approval, and is assessed case by case.

Send departure, destination, date and time, passenger count, baggage and anything special. That is enough to start; nothing else is required up front.

We start as soon as the request arrives and come back as quickly as possible, subject to operator availability. We do not promise a fixed response time on an operator's behalf.

No. Your request comes to SkyMatch first. We review the requirement, then identify and coordinate with suitable licensed operators. The flight is operated by that licensed operator under its own certificate and operational control.
