Questions about the Robinson R66

How many passengers can a Robinson R66 carry?

Typical layouts have up to 4 passenger seats. With luggage on an airport transfer, plan for about 3. The operator confirms the final number after checking weights, fuel and weather.

How far can a Robinson R66 fly?

Published range is about 600 km without reserves. Real legs are shorter because operators keep fuel reserves and adjust for load and wind.

How much does a Robinson R66 charter cost?

Price is on request. It depends on the operator, route, repositioning, landing fees and date, so we quote each mission separately.

Can SkyMatch guarantee a Robinson R66?

No. SkyMatch is a broker and owns no aircraft. We request this type from licensed operators; if it is not available we suggest a similar type.
