Athens

Typical arrival options are city heliport, main airport ga terminal, rooftop helipad, secondary airfield. Which one you actually use is confirmed per booking, because pad licences, noise windows and owner permissions change. Purpose-built, slot-controlled and usually the fastest option into the centre. Book the slot when you book the aircraft — peak-hour capacity is finite.

No. The airport or airfield arrival works for every booking and is the fallback whenever a private site is unavailable or weather closes it. A licensed private pad, an approved one-off landing site or a yacht helideck are added on top when the operator can obtain the permissions in time.

You can use the city heliport or the main airport's general-aviation terminal. Heliports are slot-controlled, so the slot is booked with the aircraft; the GA terminal is the right choice when the helicopter is timed against a private jet and you want an airside handoff.

Both, for different reasons. On the business side: Airport-to-boardroom shuttles that bypass the city's worst traffic windows; Multi-city day itineraries with the aircraft repositioning between meetings; Client and delegation movements requiring discretion and controlled arrival points. On the private and leisure side: Private-jet connections with an airside handoff and no terminal time; Scenic city flights over the skyline and waterfront; Event and hospitality arrivals on race, match and gala days.

A typical sector is around Hub. Nearby, Mykonos is roughly 40 minutes away, Milos is roughly 45 minutes away, Paros is roughly 45 minutes away at normal block speed. Actual times depend on aircraft type, routing, wind and any airspace restriction on the day.

24 hours is usually enough, but book heliport slots earlier for peak business hours and event days. Requests outside those windows are still worth sending — availability depends on where aircraft are already positioned.

The operator decides on the day against actual conditions and the aircraft's approval level. In practice the flight either shifts to an alternative site with a road leg for the final stretch, moves to a later slot, or is cancelled. Build the fallback into your schedule rather than into the day itself.

Capacity is set by the aircraft, not the destination: light singles typically carry around 100–120 kg of baggage across all passengers, light twins roughly 180–200 kg, and soft bags load far better than hard cases. Declare passenger weights and bag count at request stage so the operator quotes an aircraft that can actually carry the load.

No. SkyMatch is an independent matching platform, not an operator. Your request goes to verified operators flying this area, and you receive comparable offers to choose from. The flight contract and payment are with the operator.
