Helicopter rental for private flights
Cyprus Private Jets company provides services for the organization of flights by private helicopters. There are modern models in the fleet of the air broker: Eurocopter EC130 T2, AS350, AW109, AW119, AW139, Bell 429, and many others. We employ only experienced pilots with more than 12 years of experience. We guarantee an individual approach and flexible booking conditions. Flights are operated both in Cyprus and in European countries. The helicopters are often rented for flights to Nice, Zurich, Monaco, Chambery, Milan, Courchevel, and other resort cities. They are ideal for moving over medium distances in the shortest possible time. The peculiarity of a helicopter flight is that you can land almost anywhere or pick up a platform as close as possible to your place of stay. Urgent departures are possible, but in most cases, it is better to book a flight within 1-2 weeks before the date you are interested in. We work with both legal entities and individuals. Send us a request, and we will select the best private helicopter for your flight.
In the world practice of business aviation, the share of flights using helicopters is slightly more than 5%. However, more and more customers prefer this type of transport, since there are no restrictions for it. The aircraft is capable of landing and taking off from small platforms, including areas located at an incline. A size of only one and a half times the diameter of the screw is sufficient for any model. The technique is characterized by high mobility, advanced capabilities of hovering in place and moving in any direction. Modern helicopters are actively used both for delivering passengers to hard-to-reach places that are not equipped with runways and for moving in megacities.

Advantages and features of private flights
Helicopters are in demand among all categories of passengers, starting with politicians and senior management of large corporations and ending with entrepreneurs, tourism organizations, and individuals.
Private helicopters are booked for:
- Business trips of individuals and groups of up to 10 people.
- Flights to remote regions (including resorts).
- Recreational and country walks.
They are also hired for aerial photography, monitoring and protection of objects, emergency evacuation.
One of the important advantages of the helicopter is the change in speed and altitude during the flight with the possibility of an unplanned landing. In comparison with airplanes (even light-engine ones), modern models are less sensitive to weather conditions, which expands the scope of application and makes this type of transport safe.

Types of private helicopters
On average, the non-stop distance for modern models is 500-700 km with a cruising flight speed of 300-350 km/h.
In business aviation, equipment with one or two engines is used. Single-engine models are distinguished by high operational flexibility and moderate booking costs. Twin-engine models are considered more reliable due to the safety net of the second power unit. If there is an emergency, the pilot will have enough time to choose a suitable platform and make a soft landing. In practice, there is no difference between the models — modern helicopters are equipped with multi–stage protection systems and flight navigation equipment capable of coping with any situation.
Individual flights are usually served by helicopters with one engine. If we talk about a group of passengers from 3 to 10 people, it is preferable to book a private flight by helicopter with two power plants. Models with spacious interiors are able to cover up to 900 km with a single gas filling, which is quite enough for popular distances in Europe. Depending on the carrying capacity, there are 3 groups of helicopters:
Helicopter classification | Take-off weight |
Ultralight | Within 1 ton |
Light | Up to 4,5 tons |
Medium | No more than 13 tons |
Our company mainly presents business class models, ideal for private aviation. We are often asked about the possibility of renting models with a lifting capacity of over 13 tons. These are massive helicopters used for the delivery of oversized cargo, so they are rarely used in business aviation. However, according to your request, we will try our best to find a suitable option.

Cyprus Private Jets clients have combined VIP transportation at their disposal, during which part of the journey is covered by a business jet, and the rest of the route is carried out by a helicopter.

From the moment of arrival at the original airport to landing at the destination, passengers enjoy the journey, without delays and unnecessary difficulties. You will be able to arrive at your final destination as quickly and safely as possible.

Helicopter taxi
Helicopter taxi is in demand among businessmen, show business stars, and athletes. If you need to visit several different destinations, a helicopter is the fastest transport. The convenience and indispensability of renting a helicopter is that you are not tied to airfields and airports at all. The helicopter can be used on almost any surface (a small platform, the roof of a house, parking). In addition, there are no traffic jams and traffic lights in the sky at all. That is why helicopter taxi is becoming an increasingly popular and convenient service every year.
Do not forget that arriving by helicopter is a great opportunity to indicate your business position. Arriving at the negotiations by helicopter will make a proper impression and will not go unnoticed. Hourly rental is possible, check with the company's managers for details. Helicopter taxi service is valid for all citizens of Cyprus and European countries.
Popular European routes
In most countries, the mountainous terrain of the countryside and the transport situation in megacities increases the share of the use of business aviation helicopters from year to year. If we talk about the distances from 200 to 900 km, then it is much easier, faster, and more profitable to use a board equipped for VIP flights than to get by car, losing nerves and time in traffic jams.
In the EU countries, private helicopters are used for:
- Flights to resorts that are located in the mountains or for heli skiing (downhill skiing or snowboarding).
- Business of flights between neighboring countries.
- Pleasure charters for hunting or fishing.
- Organization of entertainment tours for the wedding.
- Sightseeing tours from the air along popular tourist routes.
In mountainous areas, helicopters continue to be the main technical means to meet the needs of medical evacuation. Our company provides a full range of business aviation services and will help you book a private helicopter for flights of any type.
How to choose a suitable helicopter
Customers often have no idea which model to rent for a flight, focusing on their preferences on the advice of business partners or acquaintances. Cyprus Private Jets consultants will help you choose an option that meets the requirements for cabin equipment and technical characteristics. We will promptly provide the necessary medical equipment and personnel for sanitary flights. We will provide from 3 to 5 options with a detailed description of technical characteristics, photos, and a detailed description of the interior. Crews servicing business aviation helicopters undergo annual professional retraining, including working out actions in emergency situations. European teams are distinguished by pedantry, responsibility, strict compliance with pre-flight training regulations.
If you book a private helicopter with a crew, we guarantee the safety of the flight, smooth piloting, and a cozy atmosphere on board. The company's unique database allows you to choose the right model based on your budget and preferences.

Terms of payment and refund if necessary
You can pay for a private flight using an invoice, bank transfer, or card. We try to be as flexible as possible, and in some cases, we will be able to accept payment in cash or using cryptocurrency. The company guarantees the preservation of the client's personal data and is always ready to consider alternative payment methods for services. We provide a full package of documents for accounting statements. We provide services to both individuals and legal entities.
The conditions for the refund of payment in case of flight cancellation or in force majeure situations are prescribed in the contract and are negotiated individually. In many ways, they depend on the chosen business jet since operators and owners of aircraft set individual conditions for canceling flights. If this is our fault, then Cyprus Private Jets will fully refund the funds. If the passenger refuses to fly, we will do everything possible to ensure that the fine is minimal for you.
