Book your Australian Open helicopter

One request — Melbourne Tullamarine (MEL) to Melbourne. We match independent operators in your route within the hour.

How event weeks work

The closest airport (often MEL) 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 Melbourne Tullamarine (MEL) 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 MEL.
  • Crew, luggage and security coordinated end-to-end.
  • Backup aircraft on standby for high-value movements.

Why fly by helicopter for Australian Open

Grand Slam fortnights turn tennis venues into festival cities with credential-only vehicle access. Helicopter transfers land VIP box-holders and player-family guests direct into the venue precinct for evening night-session start times.
