Where a helicopter actually makes sense.
Not a price list — a map of what is genuinely flown. Each route below is an established sector with known helipads, handling and crews. Open a route for planning detail, or start from a destination or mission type.
Four kinds of route
Island hops
Short 12–45 minute sector flights that replace a ferry day. Athens to the Cyclades, Malta to Gozo, Ibiza to Mallorca. Usually a light single or light twin, bags carried in the pod.
Airport & jet connections
Airside or landside handoff between a private jet and a villa, hotel or yacht. Timed against your inbound tail number, so a slipped slot moves the helicopter, not your evening.
Coastal & yacht transfers
Nice–Monaco–Saint-Tropez, Naples–Capri–Amalfi, Dubai Marina to the Palm. Deck landings need a helideck-approved aircraft and a captain briefed the day before.
Alpine & remote lifts
Geneva to Courchevel or Zermatt, mountain-rated crews, altitude-capable performance and weather windows that shift by the hour. Book with a flexible departure band.
Greece
Athens and the Greek islands: Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Naxos, Crete, Corfu and Rhodes by helicopter instead of the ferry.
Spain
Ibiza, Mallorca, Menorca and the Costa del Sol — Balearic island-hopping and Marbella VIP transfers by helicopter.
France
Côte d’Azur transfers Nice → Monaco → Cannes → Saint-Tropez, Megève and Courchevel ski lifts, Paris executive shuttles.

Flying for a reason other than travel?
The same networks fly medical, survey, lift and film work. Mission profiles change the aircraft, the crew qualification and the permits — start from the mission, not the route.
Planned medical helicopter transfers, flown by operators that hold the medical approval the mission needs.
Search-and-rescue standby and support helicopters for organisations, flown by operators that hold the approvals.
Camera helicopters for film, TV and live broadcast, with mounts and low-level permits confirmed by the operator.
Helicopter inspection and survey flights for powerlines, pipelines, rail and wind farms, with sensors specified by the client.
External-load helicopter work for construction, utilities and remote sites, with rigging and approvals confirmed by the operator.
Helicopter access for expeditions, research and remote project sites, planned around performance, fuel, weather and approvals.
