Book your Dubai Airshow helicopter
One request — Dubai International (DXB) to Dubai. We match independent operators in your route within the hour.
How event weeks work
The closest airport (often DXB) 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 Dubai International (DXB) 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 DXB.
- Crew, luggage and security coordinated end-to-end.
- Backup aircraft on standby for high-value movements.
