How to estimate your mission cost

Uses the free Charter Budget & Cost Planner

  1. 1

    Pick island or coastal sector

    Balearics use short inter-island hops; the coast uses helipad-to-helipad transfers. Both usually fit a light twin.

  2. 2

    Match aircraft to luggage and group

    Villa groups with luggage frequently need a light twin or medium twin over a single-engine aircraft.

  3. 3

    Include permits and handling

    AESA permits and coastal helipad handling appear as line items in the planner for transparent budgeting.

  4. 4

    Send for independent quotes

    SkyMatch compares Spanish AESA-approved operators — we source, we don't operate.

Frequently asked questions — Spain

How much is Ibiza to Formentera?

Typically on request on a light twin — the sector is short so the minimum-hour rule dominates.

Are night flights available in the Balearics?

On selected certified helipads and twin-engine aircraft only; pricing steps up.
