Helicopter planning for tour managers and production managers: two shows in one day, multi-city tour legs, jet-to-heli connections, baggage limits, weather fallbacks and one coordination contact per run.
Why touring teams use SkyMatch
SkyMatch is a helicopter charter coordination platform, not an operator. Flights are performed and contracted by suitable licensed third-party operators, subject to aircraft and crew availability, local regulations, landing-site approval and weather.
One request point
Instead of finding a helicopter provider in each city yourself, send the mission requirements once. We source operators in each market and come back with the options that exist.
Complex itineraries
A run can involve several countries, airports, venues, festivals and hotels. The whole itinerary is handled through one coordination contact rather than separate local bookings.
Built around the deadline
Planning starts from the arrival time you need — soundcheck, load-in, doors or stage time — and works backwards through the road leg, turnaround and flight, with a buffer written in.
Private jet connections
Helicopter options are coordinated around the tour aircraft’s actual arrival or departure at the FBO, so the jet is not held on the ground waiting for ground transport.
Multi-leg planning
Airport to venue, venue to hotel, hotel to the next airport, festival to festival — legs can be requested together and quoted as one plan.
Event and festival traffic
Where road access around a site becomes unpredictable, a helicopter leg can protect the schedule. Where the road leg is short and clear, we will say so.
Discretion
Movements are treated as confidential and briefs can be issued under NDA. Operators receive only the operational information they need to fly; the artist's public name is not required to source a flight.
Short-notice requests
Touring schedules change. Urgent requests are accepted and sourced, subject to aircraft, crew and landing availability on the day — nothing is confirmed until SkyMatch confirms it.

Pricing is quotation-based
What moves the price
- Aircraft class and passenger or baggage capacity required
- Flight time and the operator's positioning to and from the start point
- Waiting time between legs on a show day
- Landing and handling fees at each point
- Night operation, if the departure falls after last light
- Date pressure — peak festival weekends draw on a small local fleet
- Number of legs and whether one aircraft can cover the whole run
There is no published fixed price for a show-day transfer. The operator issues the figure for your specific legs, on top of it.
