How It Works

One request. Multiple offers. Worldwide.

You don't need to search for helicopter companies. Tell SkyMatch where you want to fly — we find the providers, compare the options and deliver the offers to you.

01

Tell us where and when you need a helicopter

Share your origin, destination, date and passengers. It takes under a minute — no account required.

02

SkyMatch contacts trusted local operators

We route your request to verified helicopter providers that operate your corridor and match your aircraft preferences.

03

Receive multiple competitive offers

Get comparable quotes from local operators — usually within the hour. Prices, aircraft and operator details, side by side.

04

Choose the best option and fly

Pick the offer that fits. SkyMatch is always free for travelers — you pay the operator directly.

What to expect

What happens after you send a request

No black box. Here is the exact sequence between your request and your flight — and roughly how long each stage takes.

  1. 01

    Request received

    Your brief lands with the duty concierge the moment you submit it. You get an immediate acknowledgement with a reference number — no account, no call queue.

    Instant

  2. 02

    Requirements reviewed

    We check passenger count, luggage, timings, landing points and any special needs — medical, film, cargo, pets or security — and flag anything that affects aircraft choice or permits.

    Within minutes

  3. 03

    Operators contacted

    One request reaches multiple independent operators that actually fly your corridor. You never chase operators yourself, and your details are shared only as far as the quote requires.

    Same hour

  4. 04

    Best options prepared

    We compare responses on aircraft suitability, crew experience, timing and total cost — then present a short, curated set of options with the trade-offs written in plain language.

    Typically under 60 minutes

  5. 05

    Your approval

    You choose. Nothing is booked without your confirmation, and the operator's charter terms — including cancellation and weather policy — are shown before you commit.

    Your timeline

  6. 06

    Flight confirmation

    Charter agreement, payment instructions, aircraft registration, crew details, departure point and reporting time are issued in writing. Permits and handling are arranged where required.

    After approval

  7. 07

    Concierge support

    A named coordinator stays with the mission — weather watch, slot or NOTAM changes, ground transfers, FBO access, catering and last-minute passenger changes.

    Until wheels down

  8. 08

    Flight completed

    We confirm arrival, close out documentation and keep your preferences on file so the next mission takes one message instead of a full brief.

    Post-flight

Real operations

What a SkyMatch flight actually looks like

Not stock aviation imagery — the four moments every matched charter passes through, from coordination to touchdown.

Mission coordination

Route, weather, landing permissions and operator availability checked before any offer reaches you.

Departure day

Verified crew, apron handling and luggage loading at a private terminal — usually 15 minutes from arrival to lift-off.

In the cabin

Club seating, intercom headsets and a direct routing that replaces hours of road transfer.

Arrival at the point of need

Altiports, resort pads, yacht quays and private sites — landing where fixed-wing aircraft cannot.

SkyMatch is a global helicopter matching platform — not an operator. We connect travelers with verified local helicopter providers worldwide and never charge travelers a fee.
