Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to get to Porto Heli from Athens?
While you can reach the “Greek Riviera” via regional coastal vessels or road transport, a private helicopter charter is the ultimate way to travel to Porto Heli. It offers a flawless, direct flight from Athens that avoids the unpredictability of highway traffic and coastal shipping lanes, delivering you directly to local helipads in absolute comfort and privacy.
How long is the private helicopter flight from Athens to Porto Heli?
The flight time is exactly 30 minutes. You swap a tedious multi-hour overland journey for a swift, scenic flight directly across the Saronic Gulf.
Why should I choose a private helicopter over a private chauffeured car?
Driving to Porto Heli requires a 2.5-to-3-hour road trip through heavily congested city exits and winding, slow-moving regional roads. A private helicopter cuts your transit time by 80%, transforming a tiresome drive into a brief, panoramic 30-minute flight. You completely avoid road fatigue and arrive directly at your resort or estate relaxed and refreshed.
Can I set my own departure time for the Porto Heli 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 Porto Heli 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 spectacular aerial views of the Peloponnese coastline.
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 near Porto Heli?
Yes. While coastal breezes are common, our twin-engine Airbus fleet handles them effortlessly. Thanks to their advanced aerodynamics, weight profiles, and dual-engine power redundancy, our aircraft deliver an incredibly smooth, stable ride even in gusty conditions, maintaining an exceptional on-time performance record.
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 flight slots is exceptionally high. To secure your preferred departure window, we strongly recommend booking your flight as soon as possible.
