Tenerife helicopter charter

Yes — a private helicopter can be chartered from Tenerife when a licensed Spanish operator has a suitable aircraft available for your date. As planning figures, La Gomera is roughly 20–25 minutes airborne, La Palma around 45 and Gran Canaria around 35, against ferry crossings or scheduled flights plus road legs at both ends. Tenerife is the practical western base: two airports, handling and fuel are concentrated there. SkyMatch Group is a helicopter charter broker; we do not operate aircraft, and the flight is performed by the licensed operator under its own certificate.

Private helicopter charter from Tenerife: La Gomera in about 20–25 minutes, La Palma about 45, Gran Canaria about 35. Resort, villa and yacht transfers, private jet connections, pricing drivers and a live operator availability check.

Tenerife South (TFS) is the usual start point for southern resorts and private jet arrivals; Tenerife North (TFN) suits the north of the island and Santa Cruz.
Planning times: La Gomera about 20–25 min, La Palma about 45, Gran Canaria about 35, El Hierro about 30–40 depending on routing and aircraft.
Surface comparison: the La Gomera ferry from Los Cristianos runs around 50 minutes plus check-in and two road legs — the helicopter usually returns most of a half day per direction.
Costa Adeje, Abama and the southern resort strip are short sectors from TFS, but arrival is only direct where an approved landing area exists and the operator is authorised to use it.
Positioning is frequently the largest cost line: the rotary fleet in the islands is small, and an aircraft may have to be flown to your departure point for the date.
Baggage volume, not passenger count, is often what forces a larger aircraft — golf bags, camera kit and dive equipment take space a light helicopter hold does not have.
Private jet connections at TFS and TFN are common and are planned with deliberate slack against the jet's estimated arrival, because both aircraft have different limits.
Terrain around Teide and the Atlantic trade winds affect routing and timing. The crew assesses on the day and their decision is final.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, subject to a licensed Spanish operator having a suitable aircraft available for your date, acceptable conditions and an approved landing point. Send the sector and date and we will put it to operators.

About 20–25 minutes airborne as a planning figure, against roughly 50 minutes on the Los Cristianos ferry plus check-in and road legs at both ends.

La Palma is around 45 minutes and Gran Canaria around 35 as planning figures. Real timing depends on aircraft type, wind, routing and the exact landing point.

There is no fixed tariff. Price depends on aircraft type, total sector time, positioning to and from the operator's base, passengers and baggage, landing and handling fees, crew and season. We return live operator pricing rather than a published rate.

Light types such as the Airbus H125 and H130 cover most short sectors, typically four to six passengers; intermediate twins take larger parties or more baggage. SkyMatch confirms the type and the real limit on the day.

Yes, where the resort has an approved landing area and the operator is authorised to use it. Where it does not, we plan the nearest approved point and the hotel covers the short ground leg.

Usually to an approved area port-side. Landing on the vessel itself needs a certified helideck plus operator and captain approval, and is assessed case by case.

Door to door on the short island sectors, generally yes — especially when the endpoint is a villa or resort rather than an airport. Scheduled inter-island flights remain far cheaper; the helicopter is bought for timing, privacy and the last mile.

Send departure, destination, date and time, passengers, baggage and any special requirement. Nothing more is needed to start.

No. Your request comes to SkyMatch first, we review it, then identify and coordinate with suitable licensed operators. The flight is operated under the operator's own certificate.
