Submit your mission once. We canvass operators globally and present a single curated proposal — no inbox overload.
Operators declare their AOC, insurance and safety documentation before joining the network. Licensing details are operator-declared; safety, crew and aircraft remain the operator's responsibility.
Quotes as quickly as possible, subject to availability. We handle paperwork, slots and changes end-to-end.

Asia-Pacific
A helicopter transfer in Hong Kong is a private charter of the whole aircraft, priced per mission rather than per seat. Hong Kong → Macau is one of the most requested sectors here, and typical sectors run about 15 minutes airborne, subject to routing, weather and operator confirmation. SkyMatch collects your leg once and returns operator-confirmed options as quickly as possible, subject to availability.
There is no published fare. The operator prices each mission on aircraft class, flight time in both directions, positioning from wherever the helicopter starts the day, landing and handling fees, and crew duty. Send the date, passenger and luggage count and the exact points, and we return operator figures for comparison.
Around 15 minutes airborne on a direct routing, before boarding, handling and any air-traffic sequencing. Final timing is confirmed by the operating company with your date and departure point.
Hong Kong → Macau are the corridors buyers request most often through this hub, and we source point-to-point missions across Hong Kong on request, including private helipads, resorts, yachts and airport connections.
Send one brief — date, time window, origin, destination, passengers and luggage. We canvass independent licensed operators, come back with a curated proposal, and handle permits, slots and changes end to end. Nothing is committed until you approve an operator quote.
