Landing points and permissions

Direct landing at a private property is only possible subject to landing permissions, suitable landing infrastructure, local regulation and operator approval. Where it is not available, we fly to the nearest approved helipad or airport and coordinate the final leg by car or tender.

How the price is built

Pricing follows positioning, sector time, landing and handling fees, crew duty and season — not a published per-seat fare. SkyMatch sources and compares licensed operators for the exact date and party, and the flight remains subject to availability, weather, permits and operator approval.

Mykonos Airport (JMK) to Santorini Airport (JTR).

It is quoted per mission rather than per seat. Aircraft type, positioning, landing fees, crew duty and season all move the number, so we price the specific date with the operators.

Which aircraft is used?

Twin-engine class for the over-water sector. The operator confirms the final type against payload and sector length.
