How does a private helicopter transfer in Dubai Harbour work?
A private helicopter transfer in Dubai Harbour is chartered as a whole aircraft for your group and arranged and managed by SkyMatch. The indicative Dubai International to Dubai Harbour sector is published on this page at about 12 minutes airborne, before ground handling at either end. Deck landings require a certified helideck and the captain's approval; where there is none the aircraft uses the closest approved shore pad and the tender covers the last leg. Missions are chartered per aircraft rather than per seat, and the binding figure is confirmed in your SkyMatch quote once the date, exact points, passengers and luggage are known.
