Booking request

Book a Patagonia helicopter sector

One form for every southern Chile movement: Punta Arenas, Puerto Natales, Torres del Paine, Porvenir, Puerto Williams, Aysén lodges, estancias and expedition ships. It reaches a human review desk first — never an operator inbox directly.

What SkyMatch does and does not confirm

SkyMatch Group is an independent helicopter charter broker and human review desk. We do not own or operate aircraft. Availability, permits, landing approval, weather feasibility and the final price are confirmed by the licensed operator, the landowner or park authority and the aviation authority — not by SkyMatch.

What to have ready

  • Exact pick-up and drop-off points, not just region names — airport, heliport, lodge, estancia, river camp or vessel.
  • Date and the time you need to be on the ground at the far end, plus how much schedule flexibility you have.
  • Passenger count with approximate weights, baggage pieces and any oversized items such as rod tubes or camera cases.
  • Whether the landing point is an airport, a licensed pad, private land, a park-adjacent site or a vessel deck.
  • One-way or return, and whether the aircraft should wait on site between legs.

Booking questions

Does sending this form book a helicopter?

No. It sends a mission request. A person at SkyMatch reviews it, then approaches licensed Chilean operators. A flight only exists once an operator issues a firm quote and you accept it.

Will an operator contact me directly after I submit?

No. Requests come to SkyMatch first. Your contact details are not released to any operator before we have reviewed the mission and approved the introduction.

How far in advance should a Patagonia sector be requested?

As early as possible. The southern fleet is small and the December to March window is the busiest, so lodge weeks and expedition-ship dates fill first. Late requests are still worth sending — availability is confirmed by the operator, not by us.

Can the helicopter land at my lodge or estancia?

Only where the landowner has approved the site and the operator accepts it as safe and lawful, with any park or authority permissions in place. Otherwise the sector runs to the nearest approved airfield or pad with a short ground transfer.

What does the price depend on?

Aircraft category, positioning from the operating base, airborne time, waiting time on site, landing and handling fees, and season. Ranges published elsewhere on this site are indicative planning figures only.

What happens if the Patagonian wind closes the day?

The operator makes the go or no-go call. Strong wind, low cloud on the massif and rapid frontal changes routinely delay or cancel sectors, so keep a road or ferry fallback in mind for time-critical arrivals.
