Book your Burning Man helicopter
One request — Reno-Tahoe (RNO) to Black Rock City, Nevada. We match independent operators in your route within the hour.
How event weeks work
The closest airport (often RNO) handles principals and guests by private jet; SkyMatch flies the final segment by helicopter into the event window. Slots are pre-booked, ground handling is coordinated with the operator, and onward yacht / venue transfers are stitched in.
Airports & jet gateways
Principals and guests typically arrive by private jet into Reno-Tahoe (RNO) or the nearest business-aviation FBO. SkyMatch coordinates the helicopter leg into the event helipad, ground handling and onward transfers — usually taking the door-to-door time from hours to minutes during the event window.
What you get
- Confirmed slot at the event helipad.
- VIP terminal handling at RNO.
- Crew, luggage and security coordinated end-to-end.
- Backup aircraft on standby for high-value movements.
Why fly by helicopter for Burning Man
Site-only access, one-lane rural approaches and 24-hour crowd density make helicopter the only sane way in and out of the marquee festivals. Artist rotations, production and hospitality guests all move by helicopter.
