How a Request Works
You send the route and schedule; SkyMatch consults with licensed operators; you receive available options with their quote; coordination continues via WhatsApp or email until operator confirmation.
Nothing comes with a fixed rate. Final feasibility depends on availability, permits, weather, weight, and landing access.
How We Work
- SkyMatch is an intermediary and does not operate aircraft: each flight is performed by an independent, licensed operator.
- Aircraft and crew are subject to availability.
- Landing permission is confirmed per mission, never assumed.
- Weather and operational restrictions may modify or cancel a flight.
- Times are estimated; there is no fixed price before operator confirmation.
