How does a private helicopter transfer in The Ritz-Carlton Riyadh work?
A private helicopter transfer in The Ritz-Carlton Riyadh is chartered as a whole aircraft for your group and flown by an independent licensed operator. The indicative King Khalid International to The Ritz-Carlton Riyadh sector is published on this page at about 14 minutes airborne, before ground handling at either end. Exact pickup and landing points drive both the timing and the aircraft choice, so name them in the request rather than the town only. Missions are chartered per aircraft rather than per seat, and the operating company issues the binding figure once the date, exact points, passengers and luggage are known.
