Executive Site Visit Planner
Quick answer
This planner turns an executive or investor site visit into a quote-ready helicopter charter brief. It collects the city, site address, passengers, meeting and return times, the ground alternative and landing permission status. SkyMatch reviews the request and arranges and manages the flight; flight times are estimates and availability, permits and landing access are confirmed during review. Pricing is on request.

Most business charter requests stall on missing detail rather than budget. The flight team needs to know exactly where the aircraft is expected to land, who controls that site, how long the aircraft waits and what the realistic return deadline is. Complete the fields below and you will have a brief SkyMatch can plan and quote.

Likely decision points
- Whether the site can be used at all, or whether the nearest licensed airfield plus a road transfer is the realistic plan.
- Whether the meeting window and return deadline fit inside crew duty limits with a weather margin.
- Whether waiting on site is cheaper than repositioning the aircraft and returning later.
- Whether the passenger and luggage load requires a larger aircraft class.
- What the fallback is if weather prevents departure — ground transfer, retiming or cancellation.
Mission intake checklist
Have these ready and your request can be reviewed in one pass.
- Exact pick-up and landing points (address, coordinates or heliport)
- Who controls each landing site and whether written permission exists
- Passengers, luggage and any equipment with weights
- Required arrival time and latest return time
- Single flight, daily shuttle or weekly programme
- Site rules: HSE induction, PPE, security clearance
- Ground fallback if weather prevents flying
- Decision-maker and how to reach them
Time saved versus ground transport (estimate)
Short answer: a helicopter usually saves time when the ground journey is long, congested or indirect and both landing points are close to where you need to be. Enter the distance and your usual door-to-door ground time.
Assumptions: 230 km/h cruise in still air, routing ×1.1, 15 min boarding and start-up, 20 min of car transfers to and from landing points. Flight times are estimates only; weather, routing, permits, landing access and aircraft availability are checked when SkyMatch reviews your request. No price is shown — pricing is on request. Send a mission brief.
FAQ
Does this planner give a price?
No. It produces a structured brief and feasibility notes. Pricing is on request, after the SkyMatch team reviews the mission, route and landing points.
Can the helicopter land at our site?
Only if the site owner permits the movement and the pre-flight assessment of surface, obstacles, approach paths and safety rules is satisfactory. Where that is not possible, a nearby licensed landing point plus a short road transfer is used.
How much notice is needed?
Heliport-to-heliport missions can sometimes be arranged within a day. Private-site missions usually need more lead time because permissions and surveys take time.
What does SkyMatch do?
SkyMatch is a helicopter charter and flight service: we review your request, arrange the flight and manage it through to arrival. We do not promise availability or a price until the mission is reviewed.
How much does it cost to charter a helicopter?
Helicopter charter is priced per flight hour for the whole aircraft, not per seat, so the drivers are flight time, aircraft category, positioning from the operator's base, landing and handling fees, and waiting time. A calculator result here is a preliminary planning estimate; the final price comes from the operator in a written quotation.
How far in advance should I request a helicopter charter?
A few working days is comfortable for most transfers, and short-notice or same-day flights are often possible where an aircraft and crew are free. Peak season, major events and non-airport landing sites need longer, because permissions and crew duty limits are checked before an operator can confirm.
Can the helicopter land at my hotel, villa, yacht or project site?
Only where an approved landing site exists and the operator and local authority permit its use on your date. SkyMatch Group checks the landing options for your route as a broker; the operator and the site owner confirm whether the landing is actually authorised.
What information do I need to send to get a real quote?
Origin and destination, date, preferred departure time, passenger count, luggage, and the mission type (airport transfer, resort or island transfer, VIP, corporate, event, offshore, filming or project support). Any landing constraint or fixed arrival deadline should be included, because it can change the aircraft and the price.
Is the calculator result a confirmed price or a booking?
No. It is a preliminary estimate for planning purposes. Final aircraft availability, operational feasibility, routing and pricing must be confirmed by the selected operator; SkyMatch Group is a helicopter charter broker and does not operate aircraft.
