The 90-Minute Rule for International Arrivals

Departure Options
International arrivals have two possible departure approaches. Most clients use our private helipad because it is simpler, faster, and usually more cost-efficient. Direct departure from Athens Airport can also be arranged for selected cases, but typically involves higher handling costs and more coordination time.

Luggage
Luggage on a helicopter is managed differently from luggage on a commercial airliner. Capacity depends on aircraft type, passenger count, overall load, and the size and shape of the bags you bring.
| ✓ | Declare all luggage in advance. This includes extra bags, oversized items, and hard-shell suitcases. |
| ✓ | Soft bags are preferred. Soft-sided luggage is usually easier to accommodate than rigid suitcases. |
| ✓ | Plan excess luggage separately if needed. For larger luggage volumes, a ground courier to the hotel or villa may be the smoother option. |
