Forskergrupper, geologiske kartleggingsteam og ekspedisjonsmannskaper trenger transport av personer og utstyr til avsidesliggende steder som det tar lang tid eller er umulig å nå med båt og snøscooter. SkyMatch er en uavhengig megler og concierge, ikke en operatør. En lisensiert operatør bekrefter luftfartøy, landingssted, tidspunkt, tilgjengelighet og endelig pris.
Indicative routes
35–45 min (estimert). Båt i den isfrie sesongen eller snøscooter om vinteren, vanligvis mesteparten av en dag. Landinger i felt krever relevante tillatelser for prosjektet; operatøren vurderer nyttelast under kalde forhold, dagslys (mørketid om vinteren) og værbetingede utsettelser for hver delstrekning.
Get a quote →Alle flyginger på Svalbard vurderes av operatøren; trafikktillatelser kan være nødvendige, miljøregler og landingsrestriksjoner gjelder, og verneområder krever egne tillatelser. Turistlandinger med helikopter kan ikke avtales fritt. Flytidene er estimater ut fra luftlinje, ikke bekreftet av en operatør. Pris på forespørsel – den avhenger av operatør og posisjonering og fastsettes aldri før bekreftelse.

Short answer
For lange etapper, større grupper eller tung last til et sted med rullebane er fly ofte bedre; helikopter passer for steder uten rullebane.

Why concierge, not a marketplace
Submit your mission once. We canvass operators globally and present a single curated proposal — no inbox overload.
Operators declare their AOC, insurance and safety documentation before joining the network. Licensing details are operator-declared; safety, crew and aircraft remain the operator's responsibility.
Quotes as quickly as possible, subject to availability. We handle paperwork, slots and changes end-to-end.

Svalbard
A helicopter transfer in Svalbard is a private charter of the whole aircraft, priced per mission rather than per seat. Longyearbyen (LYR) → Ny-Ålesund og forskningsleirer i felt is one of the most requested sectors here, and typical sectors run about 35 minutes airborne, subject to routing, weather and operator confirmation. SkyMatch collects your leg once and returns operator-confirmed options as quickly as possible, subject to availability.
There is no published fare. The operator prices each mission on aircraft class, flight time in both directions, positioning from wherever the helicopter starts the day, landing and handling fees, and crew duty. Send the date, passenger and luggage count and the exact points, and we return operator figures for comparison.
Around 35 minutes airborne on a direct routing, before boarding, handling and any air-traffic sequencing. Final timing is confirmed by the operating company with your date and departure point.
Longyearbyen (LYR) → Ny-Ålesund og forskningsleirer i felt are the corridors buyers request most often through this hub, and we source point-to-point missions across Svalbard on request, including private helipads, resorts, yachts and airport connections.
