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.
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.
Frequently asked questions
Are helicopter slots required for Expo City Dubai Events?
Yes — major events use slot-controlled airspace and helipads. SkyMatch books slots and ground handling weeks ahead of the event window.
How early should I book?
For Monaco GP, MYS and Cannes Lions, six to ten weeks ahead is typical. Davos and Silverstone routinely sell out twelve weeks ahead.
What does it cost?
Charters for Expo City Dubai Events start from €2,600 one-way; per-seat shuttle pricing is available on the Nice ↔ Monaco corridor during F1 and MYS weeks.
Can SkyMatch handle delegations?
Yes — multi-aircraft fleet movements, principal-and-protection separation, and onward jet handoff are standard.
