Before requesting a quote

Luggage Matters More Than Most Guests Expect

Best luggage type Soft luggage is strongly recommended because it is easier to load efficiently and safely into helicopter baggage compartments.
Hard-shell suitcases Hard cases may limit capacity or require different loading assumptions, even when seat count remains the same.
Why this affects price A route may appear possible on paper, but large luggage loads can influence aircraft choice or whether a specific configuration is practical.
Best practice When requesting a quote, include the number of passengers, the number of bags, and whether the bags are soft or hard-shell.
Departure planning

Helipad Departure vs Athens Airport Departure

Departure option Advantages Things to know
Fly G helipad Usually the faster and smoother option, with minimal waiting, simpler coordination, and direct private handling. Located approximately 15 minutes from Athens International Airport.
Athens International Airport Can be useful in some custom itineraries or when a direct airport-side helicopter departure is specifically preferred. Usually involves extra cost, airport handling, and potentially more time on the ground.
For international arrivals into Athens, the typical flow is: passport control, baggage claim, meet-and-assist in arrivals, then transfer to the helipad for departure. In high season, allowing around 90 minutes from airline arrival to helicopter departure is the safer planning assumption.
Operational Guidance

If You Are Arriving First at Athens International Airport

Many international travelers arrive in Athens on a commercial airline before continuing by private helicopter. The process is simple, but correct timing ensures a smooth transfer.
1
Land in Athens
Complete passport control and baggage claim as normal at Athens International Airport.
2
Meet & Transfer
A transfer can be arranged from the arrivals hall directly to the departure helipad. This is typically the fastest and most efficient option, avoiding additional airport handling and delays.
3
Departure
During high season, allow approximately 90 minutes between airline arrival and helicopter departure to ensure smooth coordination.
Safety

Why Twin-Engine Matters Over the Aegean

Every Fly G Aviation flight over the Aegean Sea uses EASA-certified twin-engine aircraft. This is not a marketing choice — it is an operational standard.
Engine redundancy
A second engine provides a continuous power source if the first experiences any issue over open water, where landing options do not exist.
EASA certification
Both the Airbus H135 and Airbus AS355 TwinStar are certified under European Union Aviation Safety Agency standards for commercial air transport operations.
Aegean conditions
Meltemi winds, thermal uplift and variable sea conditions across the Cyclades demand aircraft with superior stability margins. Twin-engine platforms meet that requirement.
IFR capability
Both aircraft are IFR-capable, meaning operations can continue safely in reduced visibility conditions where single-engine VFR-only aircraft would be grounded.
