Roland-Garros 2027: official dates, listed landing points and quote

  • Roland-Garros 2027 — 23 May 2027 – 6 Jun 2027, Stade Roland-Garros (confirmed, organiser source checked 2026-10-18)

The organiser’s site publishes 17 May–6 June 2027 for Roland-Garros at Stade Roland-Garros, rather than the supplied 23 May start. Paris–Issy-les-Moulineaux–Valérie André heliport is documented by a government aviation decision, but stadium helicopter landing is not established.

What arrival options are actually established?

A French government decision identifies Paris–Issy-les-Moulineaux–Valérie André heliport and specific local air-traffic instructions. It does not authorise a particular passenger charter or a connection into Roland-Garros.

What is the surface-transport fallback?

Consult the tournament’s official “Coming to Roland-Garros / Transportation” page for stadium access. Plan public transport and the final walk to the ticketed entrance, keeping a road option appropriate to your mobility needs.

What permissions and access must be confirmed?

A court ticket, session booking or hospitality package is distinct from permission to fly or land. SkyMatch is an independent broker/concierge and does not provide stadium aviation access.

What should the request include?

Specify your attendance day, court session, departure address, passenger details and baggage. Clarify whether your enquiry concerns the main draw or the wider published tournament period; a licensed local operator and the relevant authorities confirm aircraft, availability, weather, permissions, landing and slots.

Paris area: landing points, local terms and rules

Official records confirm that a location is listed, not that it is available for your flight. Aircraft suitability, landing access, permissions and timing are checked per request before written confirmation.

Straight answers

How long does the flight to Paris take?

About 12 minutes airborne from Paris Le Bourget (LBG) to the approved landing point for Paris. That is a planning figure, not a schedule: the routing, the slot you are given during an event window, the landing point the authorities approve and the weather on the day all move it, and the performing operator confirms the real number.

When is a helicopter actually worth it here?

During Roland-Garros (French Open) the case is access, not distance. Single-road approaches, event traffic management and parking restrictions turn a short drive into hours, and the helicopter buys back the part of the day you cannot reschedule — arriving for a session, a lunch or a departure slot that will not wait.

It is usually not worth it if your timings are flexible, you are travelling outside the peak arrival and departure windows, or you are one or two people who can share a road transfer — the aircraft is chartered whole, so a small party pays for all of it.

How event weeks work

The closest airport (often LBG) handles principals and guests by private jet; a licensed operator flies any final helicopter segment into the event window. Requested slots, ground handling and onward venue transfers are checked with the selected operator and relevant event authorities before confirmation.

Airports & jet gateways

Principals and guests typically arrive by private jet into Paris Le Bourget (LBG) or the nearest business-aviation FBO. SkyMatch coordinates the request for the helicopter leg, ground handling and onward transfers; the performing operator confirms whether the proposed itinerary is feasible for the requested event day.

What you get

  • Event slot and landing-point checks before confirmation.
  • Terminal-handling requirements checked at LBG.
  • Passenger, luggage and security details reviewed with the operator.
  • Weather, cancellation and contingency terms explained before acceptance.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a helicopter to Roland-Garros (French Open) cost?
The price is on request. The operator quotes each transfer to Roland-Garros (French Open) from Paris Le Bourget (LBG) based on aircraft type, passenger count, luggage, waiting time and event-week slot fees. Send your dates and passenger numbers for a quote.
How long is the flight from LBG to Paris for Roland-Garros (French Open)?
Roughly 12 minutes in the air from Paris Le Bourget to Paris, versus a road transfer that can take several hours during Roland-Garros (French Open) traffic. Allow around 15 minutes on the ground either side for handling and security. We can plan the exact departure slot around your arrival flight or hotel check-in.
Where does the helicopter land at Roland-Garros (French Open)?
There is no helipad at the stadium. Arrivals use Paris Heliport Issy-les-Moulineaux (JDP), roughly 10 minutes by car from Porte d'Auteuil, or Le Bourget (LBG) with a 12-minute helicopter leg to Issy. Paris airspace is tightly controlled and slots must be filed in advance.
Can I still book a last-minute helicopter for Roland-Garros (French Open) (Sunday 23 May - Sunday 6 June 2027 (provisional))?
Often yes. Event weeks are slot-controlled and the best aircraft go 6–12 weeks ahead, but operators release cancellations and repositioning legs close to the date, and empty legs on the corridor into Paris can cut cost significantly. Message the SkyMatch mission desk on WhatsApp with your date, route and passenger count for current operator availability for Roland-Garros (French Open).
Are helicopter slots required for Roland-Garros (French Open)?
Often, yes. Major events can use slot-controlled heliports, temporary landing sites and airspace restrictions. The licensed operator applies for the slots and landing permissions its flight needs; SkyMatch coordinates the request and tells you what has been confirmed.
How early should I request a quote?
As early as your dates are fixed. Event weeks concentrate demand on a small number of aircraft and landing sites, so an early request gives operators more time to check slots, aircraft and a fallback.
What does it cost?
SkyMatch does not publish prices. The licensed operator quotes for your date, aircraft, positioning, waiting time, landing and slot fees; the written quotation is what counts.
Can SkyMatch coordinate a group or delegation?
Yes, as a request to review: several passengers, aircraft or legs can be included in one brief. Whether operators can support it, and how, is confirmed per request.
How much luggage can I bring on a helicopter to Roland-Garros (French Open)?
Plan on one soft holdall plus a cabin bag per passenger on a light twin. Hard cases, golf bags, camera rigs and hospitality equipment are usually fine but must be declared before the flight so the operator can run the weight-and-balance for the LBG–Paris sector. If the manifest is heavy we either move to a larger cabin or send bags on the ground vehicle that meets you at the pad.
What happens if the weather closes in during Roland-Garros (French Open)?
Helicopter transfers to Roland-Garros (French Open) fly under VFR minima, so the operator reviews the forecast the evening before and again on the morning of the rotation. If the window is marginal we shift your slot earlier, reroute to an alternative landing site, or arrange a chauffeured ground leg. Weather cancellations by the operator are not charged for the unflown sector.
Can you run multiple rotations for a group at Roland-Garros (French Open)?
Yes. Most Roland-Garros (French Open) movements are flown as shuttle rotations: one aircraft cycling between Paris Le Bourget and Paris every 34 minutes or so, or two aircraft in parallel where the slot grid allows it. Give us the total head count and the time everyone must be on site and we build the rotation plan with the operator.
How far in advance should I book a helicopter for Roland-Garros (French Open)?
For Sunday 23 May - Sunday 6 June 2027 (provisional), aim for four to eight weeks. Event-week helipad slots, ground handling and crew duty are allocated in advance and the best aircraft go first. Late requests are still worth sending — we regularly place same-week charters and repositioning legs — but availability and pricing both tighten inside seven days.
Can the helicopter wait and fly us back after Roland-Garros (French Open)?
Yes. You can either hold the aircraft and crew on the ground (charged as waiting time, usually the most convenient option for a same-day return) or book a separate return rotation at a fixed departure slot. For evening finishes we confirm the site's licensed hours and night-flying capability before quoting, since some venue pads close at dusk.
Is SkyMatch the operator for Roland-Garros (French Open) helicopter transfers?
No. SkyMatch is an independent charter concierge and matching service. We send your Roland-Garros (French Open) requirement to suitable independent operators; the selected operator remains responsible for the aircraft, crew, approvals and flight.
How do I request a helicopter quote for Roland-Garros (French Open)?
Use the SkyMatch RFQ with your departure point, date, preferred arrival time, passenger count and luggage. SkyMatch reviews the brief and requests offers from suitable independent operators as quickly as possible, subject to availability, permissions and operator approval.
Where exactly does the helicopter land for Roland-Garros (French Open)?
There is no helipad at the stadium. Arrivals use Paris Heliport Issy-les-Moulineaux (JDP), roughly 10 minutes by car from Porte d'Auteuil, or Le Bourget (LBG) with a 12-minute helicopter leg to Issy. Paris airspace is tightly controlled and slots must be filed in advance. The operator files the landing request against that site, and we confirm the pad, the ground handover and any escort into Stade Roland-Garros in writing before you pay. If the event pad is saturated on the day, the fallback is the nearest licensed site with a pre-arranged car for the last few minutes.
How do you verify the Roland-Garros (French Open) dates, access and landing permissions?
We work from the organiser's published schedule (Sunday 23 May - Sunday 6 June 2027 (provisional)) and re-check it against the official Roland-Garros (French Open) channels before confirming any rotation, including www.rolandgarros.com. Access to the site itself (tickets, hospitality or paddock passes) stays with you or your host — we only handle the air and ground movement. The operator holds the AOC, insurance and the event-week landing approval; we send you the operator name, aircraft registration and permit status so everything is verifiable before departure.
What time should we depart to arrive comfortably at Roland-Garros (French Open)?
Work back from the time you must be on site: the air sector is 12 minutes, plus roughly 15 minutes for boarding at Paris Le Bourget and 10–20 minutes for the pad-to-venue transfer in Paris. That puts a typical door-to-door window at about 42–57 minutes. During Sunday 23 May - Sunday 6 June 2027 (provisional) we add a slot buffer because event-week pads sequence multiple arrivals.
