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, Split to Hvar and Korčula, 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, Tivat–Dubrovnik, 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.
