Frequently Asked Questions
1What is included in a private helicopter charter?
Every private helicopter charter provides a fully dedicated aircraft and a highly experienced commercial pilot, ensuring an exclusive, VIP travel experience tailored entirely to your party. Your booking covers private round-trip transit from the departure helipad directly to your chosen destination. Once you arrive, the helicopter and pilot will remain on standby at the drop-off location while you enjoy your experience—whether that is a game drive, shark cage diving, or lunch at a luxury estate. For passengers looking to elevate their journey, custom scenic flight paths over iconic coastlines and landmarks can also be integrated into the route for an additional fee.
2What is the minimum/maximum number of passengers per flight?
Private charter flights accommodate between 2 and 6 passengers per aircraft. Because seating capacity is tailored to your group, the specific helicopter model ranging from sleek 3-passenger executive helicopters to spacious 6-seater turbine aircraft—is selected based on your total passenger count and group weight distribution.
3Can helicopters land directly at private estates, wine farms, or game reserves?
Yes, private helicopters can land directly at approved private estates, wine farms, and game reserves throughout the region. However, landings are subject to prior permission and any applicable landing fees set by the property owner. Landing clearance and airspace permissions must be arranged in advance, and ground transportation access at the drop-off location should be factored into your itinerary to ensure a seamless arrival.
4What are the luggage restrictions on private helicopter flights?
Due to strict aircraft weight and cabin space limitations, luggage capacity depends on your total passenger count and chosen helicopter model. Soft-sided bags and compact duftles are recommended, as hard suitcases can rarely be accommodated inside the cabin cargo bays. For groups traveling with oversized luggage, heavy bags, or large equipment, ground transport can easily be arranged to meet you at your destination with your belongings.
