What to confirm before requesting

Arriving in São Paulo or Rio from the Gulf? Airport-to-business-district transfers and coastal or mountain flights, with every request reviewed by a person before licensed operators are approached. SkyMatch is an independent broker and concierge, not an operator. We structure the request; a licensed Brazilian operator confirms the helicopter, route, landing point, timing, availability and final price.

How much flight time should I plan?

Guarulhos (GRU) – Faria Lima: 12–18 min. Congonhas (CGH) – Faria Lima: 6–10 min. São Paulo – Angra dos Reis: 60–75 min. São Paulo – Ilhabela: 40–50 min. Rio de Janeiro – Búzios: 40–55 min. Rio de Janeiro – Angra dos Reis: 35–50 min. São Paulo – Campos do Jordão: 45–60 min. São Paulo – Guarujá: ≈28 min. Times are planning estimates, never a quotation.

Is there a fixed price?

No. As a planning reference, a light helicopter in Brazil sits around BRL 9,000–14,000 per flight hour. The final price depends on the operator, positioning, landing fees and waiting time.

What must be confirmed before booking?

Exact pickup and drop-off points, an approved helipad, passengers and luggage, timing, weather and a road or boat fallback.

Does SkyMatch fly the helicopter?

No. SkyMatch reviews your request and presents it to ANAC-licensed operators; the operator performs the flight and confirms every detail.
