EnquirePricing is per seat in US dollars and includes taxes, landing and heliport fees. Flights operate in visual meteorological conditions only; if we cancel for weather you may rebook any date or take a full refund.
02 — The fleet
We keep light singles for the harbour work and twin-engine aircraft for the long legs and over-water routes. Every hull is maintained in-house by our Part-145 approved workshop.
Harbour workhorse
Panoramic glazing and the lowest noise profile in the fleet — the aircraft we put first-time flyers in.
Coast & over-water
Two engines and IFR capability for the island chain, coastal transits and evening returns.
Ridge & high pass
The aircraft we send up the ridge line — holds altitude comfortably with a full complement on board.
Charter & transfer
Leather club seating and a whisper-quiet cabin for private charters, transfers and proposal flights.
03 — Scenic routes
Choose a corridor and the map highlights the track, the cruising altitude and the highlights below it. Custom tracks are drawn during your pre-flight briefing.
Harbour Circuit. A full counter-clockwise circuit of the harbour at 600 feet, both waterfronts on your side of the aircraft at once. Flying time 25 minutes, with a ten-minute lounge briefing before departure.
Forward-facing club seating, floor-to-ceiling glazing and noise-cancelling headsets with a two-way intercom, so you can talk to the pilot and to each other without shouting. Door-off configuration is available on every route for photographers.
04 — Safety
We are a commercial air transport operator, not an experience reseller. Our pilots are employed by SkyLine, our maintenance is done in our own hangar, and our operations manual is audited every year.
Air operator certificate for commercial air transport with helicopters — passenger, charter and aerial work ratings.
Line and base maintenance in-house, with an approved continuous airworthiness programme and OEM parts only.
Minimum 1,500 command hours to join us, 2,000 for the island routes, with annual simulator and line checks.
Visual conditions only, with defined wind, cloud-base and visibility minimums for every corridor we fly.
Seats are limited by weight as well as number. Tell us at booking if any guest is over 110 kg or if you need a wheelchair-accessible transfer — we will plan the aircraft around it, not the other way round.
05 — Booking
Send the request and the flight desk replies within two hours during operating time with a confirmed slot, your pilot's name and the exact departure time. Pay on the day or by link — your choice.
Thank you — the flight desk has your request and will confirm the slot by email within two hours of opening.

“We flew the island route with my parents, who were both nervous. The pilot spent ten minutes with them on the ground and they were laughing by the second island. I have never seen them enjoy anything that much.”
“We host clients three or four times a year and this is the first thing that has ever stopped conversation completely. Booking was done in one email chain, invoiced the same day.”
“I shoot architecture for a living and I am fussy about access. Door-off, banking over the harbour at golden hour, and the pilot re-positioned twice so I could get a clean frame.”
“We cancelled on the morning because of low cloud and they moved us to the next evening without a word about fees. That is how you earn a returning guest.”
Ready when the weather is
Departures seven days a week from the Kai Tak waterfront. Tell us the date, the route and how many of you there are — the rest is our problem, not yours.
