Multi-Festival Itinerary Request
Two sets, two regions, one day. Enter the weekend once and this drafts the structured brief operators need — stage times, landing plan at each site, night limits, party split, jet leg and the ground fallback — then sends it into the same request flow as every other SkyMatch enquiry.
1. The weekend
Two sets in different places on the same day. Everything below is what an operator needs before it can say whether the chain fits — not after.
2. The two shows, in order
Stage time is the fixed point. The landing plan at each end is what usually decides whether the day works.
Show 1
Show 2
3. Connections and the fallback
4. The drafted operator brief
This is what goes out, written the way an operator reads it. Copy it for your own tour paperwork, or send it straight through — everything is still editable in the request form.
Multi-festival weekend — 2 shows in one day, one routing. Requested by: tour manager. Show 1: to be confirmed. Show 1 landing plan: landing point not yet identified. Show 1 road leg from the landing point: approx 20 min. Show 2: to be confirmed. Show 2 landing plan: landing point not yet identified. Show 2 road leg from the landing point: approx 20 min. Party flying: 3. Ground fallback: road transfer already planned if the leg cannot fly. Please quote per leg: aircraft class, flight time, positioning, waiting time and any night operation, plus what the landing point at each end requires.
Nothing here confirms an aircraft, a landing permission or a price. SkyMatch issues the brief to licensed operating companies, and each one answers with what it can actually fly on your date.
What makes a two-show brief answerable
- The date and both stage times, including the one that cannot move
- Set end time at the first show — the chain is timed backwards from there
- The landing plan at each site: on-site area, heliport or airfield plus road leg
- Whether either site is day-only, which decides the direction of travel
- Who flies and who travels by road with the backline
- Baggage and equipment actually going on board
- Whether a jet leg sits between the two regions
- The latest workable departure from show 1
- The ground fallback if the leg cannot fly
- Contact reachable on the travel day itself
Questions tour managers ask first
What does a multi-festival itinerary request need to include?
Both stage times, the set end time at the first show, the landing plan at each site, whether either site is day-only, who flies versus who travels by road, the baggage actually going on board, any jet leg between regions, the latest workable departure and the ground fallback.
Why does the landing point matter more than the flight time?
The flight is usually the shortest part of a two-show day. Whether each end is an approved on-site landing area, a heliport or an airfield with a road leg changes the total by far more than the airborne minutes, and on-site approval takes the longest of anything to arrange.
Can SkyMatch confirm landing at a festival site?
No. On-site landing needs the organiser's agreement plus local authority or airspace approval, and the operating company assesses the site. The request captures which sites already have that in place so operators answer against reality.
What happens after the itinerary is sent?
The brief goes to licensed operating companies able to fly those legs. Each answers per leg with aircraft class, flight time, positioning, waiting time and any night operation. Customers pay the operator's quoted price; SkyMatch adds no booking or service fee and is compensated by the operator on a completed booking.
SkyMatch Group is a helicopter charter broker and matching platform. We do not operate aircraft and we do not display current operator availability. A licensed operating company holds the AOC, confirms the aircraft and the price, and makes the go / no-go decision. Every leg remains subject to operator availability, landing permissions, weather, airspace and local regulation.
