VIP questions

Can the transfer connect with my private jet?

Short answer

Often, yes, at airports and FBOs that allow helicopter movements. The operator confirms with the airport or FBO where the helicopter meets the jet and how much time to allow between the two.

How the connection works

At many airports the helicopter meets you at the private-aviation terminal (FBO). Whether it can come close to the jet depends on the airport's rules. The operator arranges this with the airport.

Timing and delays

Send your jet's planned arrival or departure time and the tail number if you have it.
Allow time for passport and customs checks on international flights.
Tell us as early as possible if the jet is delayed so the operator can adjust.

What the operator confirms

That helicopter movements are allowed at that airport and time.
The meeting point and handling arrangements.
The flight time to your destination, which is an estimate until confirmed.
