Helicopter Nassau (Lynden Pindling International) to Harbour Island and North Eleuthera

Yes, subject to operator availability, permits and approved landing locations. The Nassau (Lynden Pindling International) (NAS) to Harbour Island and North Eleuthera movement is flown as a private charter of the whole aircraft by an independent licensed operator, arranged through SkyMatch. Typical block time is around 25 minutes plus handling at each end. Bahamian operations run under Bahamas CAA rules to authorised sites, and inter-island work is a mix of fixed-wing, seaplane and rotary depending on the day, the group and the destination. Fixed-wing to North Eleuthera airport is often the better answer and we will say so; rotary earns its place where the sequence of transfers, not the distance, is the problem. Resort and island landing permissions are confirmed by the operating company.

Around 25 minutes in the air on a normal day, against A connecting flight or a fast ferry to North Eleuthera plus a taxi and a water taxi to Dunmore Town — three transfers, each with its own timetable and its own way of going wrong. Those are typical ranges rather than a guarantee: the exact block time depends on the aircraft, the routing and the conditions on the day. Where the ground or sea alternative is genuinely the better answer for your schedule, we will say so.

It is quoted per mission for the whole aircraft, not per seat, and there is no published rate. The number is driven by aircraft category, where the helicopter has to position from, landing and handling fees at each end, crew waiting time if you hold the aircraft, and how busy the date is. The operating company sets the final figure. Send the date, passenger count and bags and you get operator pricing for that exact movement.

Resort and island landing permissions are confirmed by the operating company. You are given the confirmed landing point with the quote, together with the ground or boat leg to your address, so the door-to-door plan is known before you commit. Nothing on this page should be read as a claim that a specific resort, marina or private pad is available on your date.

Twins preferred for the over-water sector — AW109, H145, Bell 429 class — with the routing and aircraft chosen around the water crossing rather than the distance. Cabin capacity and baggage allowance depend on the exact type, the crew configuration, temperature and the sector length. Normal travel luggage is usually fine; golf bags, dive gear, ski equipment and oversized cases must be declared up front so the operator can confirm the aircraft still works for your party.

Strongest from December to April and around the North American holiday weeks. The hurricane season runs roughly June to November; afternoon convection and wind are the routine constraints, and daylight limits apply to over-water routing. As a rule, the earlier the brief arrives the better the aircraft, the permissions and the price — and on this corridor permits and positioning, rather than the flight itself, are usually what set the lead time.

Date and preferred departure time, the exact pick-up and drop-off points, passenger count, luggage, and whether you need the aircraft to wait for a return. If your landing point is a resort, villa, marina or yacht, tell us the name so the operator can check whether it holds a current approval for that date.

No. SkyMatch Group is a broker and matching platform, not an aircraft operator. We route your brief to independent licensed operators covering Bahamas, compare what comes back and coordinate the confirmed movement. The operating company holds the AOC, the insurance and the landing permissions, and is responsible for the flight.
