Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to get to Alonissos from Athens?
Alonissos is a pristine, tranquil paradise, but its geographic isolation makes traditional travel highly frustrating since the island lacks a commercial airport. A private helicopter charter is the ultimate way to get to Alonissos, completely eliminating the need for commercial flights to Skiathos, local taxis, and public ferry crossings. You enjoy a seamless, direct transfer straight to your island destination.
How long is the private helicopter flight from Athens to Alonissos?
The flight time is exactly 45 minutes. You travel directly from Athens to the serene shores of Alonissos in less time than it takes to clear standard commercial airport check-in.
Why should I choose a private helicopter over a luxury ferry?
A ferry trip to Alonissos involves a long drive to a mainland port followed by several hours on the water, often stretching into a 7-to-9-hour travel day. A private helicopter compresses this taxing journey into an effortless, panoramic 45 minutes. You bypass congested ports, avoid rigid timetables, and eliminate the risk of motion sickness from choppy summer seas.
Can I set my own departure time for the Alonissos charter?
Completely. We fly entirely on your schedule. If your incoming international flight or private jet is delayed, your helicopter and crew will adapt and wait for you. Your timeline dictates our operational schedule.
Which helicopters are used for the Alonissos route, and what is the cabin experience like?
We operate a premium, young fleet of twin-engine aircraft including the Airbus H145, Airbus EC135, and Airbus H135. You will experience exceptionally quiet, spacious, and fully climate-controlled cabins fitted with bespoke leather seating and large panoramic windows offering unobstructed views of the Aegean and the famous National Marine Park of Alonissos.
What are Airlift’s safety standards and operational credentials?
Safety is our absolute, non-negotiable metric. Airlift brings over 25 years of continuous aviation excellence to the Greek skies. We operate under a full Air Operator Certificate (AOC) and maintain rigorous EASA Part-145 and CAMO certifications. Our aircraft are maintained in-house by factory-trained engineers, and our pilots are among the most seasoned captains in Europe.
Are your flights reliable during the high summer winds (Meltemi winds) in Alonissos?
Summer winds are common across the Aegean, but our fleet is built to navigate them smoothly. Because we exclusively fly advanced, twin-engine Airbus helicopters, our aircraft offer vastly superior stability, weight profiles, and power reserves compared to smaller, single-engine variants. We maintain a near-perfect dispatch reliability rate, ensuring a safe and comfortable flight.
How quickly can a helicopter be ready for takeoff after booking?
Usually, 60 minutes are required from final booking confirmation for our crew to have the aircraft prepped, cleared, and ready for departure. However, during the intense peak season months of June through August, demand for aircraft and airport slots is exceptionally high. To secure your preferred departure window, we strongly recommend booking your flight as soon as possible.
