Jet-VIP/Private aviation solutions/Private helicopter charter

Private helicopter charter

A helicopter turns a one-hour drive into a ten-minute flight and lands where a jet cannot: a heliport in the city, a hotel helipad, a yacht, a mountain resort. We organise helicopter charters on their own, or combined with your jet flight.

When a helicopter makes sense

Last-mile transfers: Nice airport to Monaco in minutes, Geneva to a ski resort, an airport to a countryside estate.
City hops: heliport to heliport, for example in New York, São Paulo or Dubai, avoiding traffic.
Events: Monaco Grand Prix, horse racing, regattas and weddings.
Scenic flights: coastlines, glaciers, canyons and city skylines, where permitted.
Offshore and yacht access: transfers to a yacht or a private island. See private jet and yacht charter.

What a helicopter can and cannot do

Typical charter helicopters seat from four to eight passengers and cover distances of up to roughly 500 to 700 km depending on the model, with limited luggage space. Many operate in visual conditions only, so weather and daylight rules apply, and night or poor-visibility flights are restricted in many places. Landing sites are subject to local authorisation. We confirm each point before you commit.

Cost factors

Flight time, billed from base to base, including positioning.
Aircraft type: single-engine, twin-engine, or larger cabin models.
Landing, handling and parking fees at airports and heliports.
Waiting time, night operations and weekend or peak-day premiums.
Prices are quoted per request; an ordinary short transfer costs a fraction of a jet charter, while long trips are usually cheaper by jet.

Combine it with your jet

The most common use is the final leg: land at a business-aviation airport, then continue by helicopter to your hotel, villa or yacht. We time both legs together and brief the handling teams, so that the transfer starts when you step off the jet. See ground transfers and airport handling.

Safety and operators

We work with certified commercial operators holding the licences required in their country, and we check the operator’s credentials before quoting. Tell us your weight and luggage needs: helicopters are weight-sensitive.

FAQ

How many passengers fit in a helicopter?

Typically between four and eight, depending on the model, with limited luggage space.

Can a helicopter land at my hotel or villa?

Only where the site is authorised and suitable. We check local rules and the landing site before booking.

Can helicopters fly at night or in bad weather?

Many operate under visual rules only. Night and low-visibility flying is restricted in many places; we confirm what is possible.

Is a helicopter cheaper than a jet?

For short transfers it costs less than a jet charter; for longer distances a jet is usually more economical per passenger-kilometre.

Can you arrange a helicopter in any country?

In many countries and resorts, through local operators. Ask us about your destination.
