Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to get to Amorgos from Athens?
Amorgos is one of the most breathtaking but geographically isolated islands in the Cyclades, completely lacking a commercial airport. Traditional travel forces you into an exhausting, multi-hour sea journey. A private helicopter charter is the definitive way to reach Amorgos, bypassing all public transport infrastructure and flying you directly to this remote paradise on a timeline that you control.
How long is the private helicopter flight from Athens to Amorgos?
The flight time is exactly 55 minutes. You trade a grueling, half-day maritime transit for a swift, deeply comfortable air transfer over the Aegean Sea.
Why should I choose a private helicopter over a luxury ferry?
Because Amorgos sits deep in the eastern Cyclades, even high-speed commercial ferries take between 6 to 9 hours from Piraeus, and the crossing is notoriously susceptible to rough summer seas. A private helicopter compresses this taxing, day-long journey into a seamless 55 minutes, completely shielding you from motion sickness, crowded passenger decks, and rigid schedules.
Can I set my own departure time for the Amorgos 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 Amorgos 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.
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 Amorgos?
The waters surrounding Amorgos frequently experience strong summer winds, but our fleet is uniquely optimized to handle them. Because we exclusively fly advanced, twin-engine Airbus helicopters, our aircraft possess vastly superior stability and power reserves compared to smaller, single-engine variants. We maintain a near-perfect dispatch reliability rate, flying smoothly when smaller vessels and aircraft are grounded.
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.
