What procurement and project managers should prepare
SkyMatch is an independent broker and concierge, not an operator. We coordinate your request; a licensed operator and, where required, the relevant authority confirm every operational, legal and commercial point below before a flight is agreed.
- Mission details
- Purpose, route or work area, pickup and drop-off points, and whether it is one trip or recurring.
- Passengers & equipment
- Headcount, approximate weights, baggage, tools or survey sensors. The operator confirms what fits.
- Landing site
- Address or coordinates, pad, ship or field details, and who owns the site. Permission is confirmed by the site owner and operator.
- Time window
- Preferred dates, earliest and latest times, and backup days. Weather and daylight rules can change the plan.
- Permits
- Airspace, overflight or landing permits are checked with the operator and the relevant authority for each mission.
- Safety requirements
- Your site rules, HSE inductions, offshore survival training or PPE needs, shared so the operator can confirm them.
- Insurance
- Any cover or certificates your company requires. The operator confirms what its insurance includes.
- Request process
- Send the brief, SkyMatch coordinates with suitable licensed operators, then you receive offers to compare before anything is booked.
For technical & procurement teams
Related business & industrial helicopter services
A helicopter is usually the efficient answer when the site has no usable road access, when a crane cannot reach or cannot be mobilised in time, or when a technical team, a replacement component or survey sensors must reach a structure inside a short weather or outage window. SkyMatch sources suitable licensed helicopter operators for these missions worldwide. SkyMatch is an independent broker and concierge, not an aircraft operator: flights are operated by licensed third-party operators; aircraft suitability, operator credentials, crew qualification, landing and staging arrangements, permits and availability are confirmed during the sourcing process.
To quote, an operator needs the mission type (passenger transport, technical access or external load), location and staging point, dates and any fixed window, people on board, cargo or equipment with approximate weight and dimensions, landing or hover arrangement at each point, site altitude and terrain, and how urgent the requirement is. Cost depends on route, aircraft class, mission duration, payload, crew, positioning, permits, fuel, staging and local regulations, so it is confirmed case by case.
