Private Charters and Transfers Across the UAE

Booking a private flight with us means you secure the entire aircraft for up to 5 guests. We do not just fly sightseeing loops; we provide point-to-point private helicopter transfers connecting Dubai with Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah. This is the ultimate transit solution for corporate leaders and luxury travelers who value time and privacy.

Premium Sightseeing and Celebration Flights

Our private flights are highly sought after for milestone celebrations, including sky-high marriage proposals and birthday surprises. When you charter the aircraft privately, the cabin belongs exclusively to your group, allowing our pilots to deliver a highly personalized flight experience over the UAE's iconic landscapes.

Round-the-Clock Aviation Services

We operate our private charters and transfers 24 hours a day, Monday to Sunday. While daytime flights offer pristine views of the Arabian Gulf and architectural marvels, night flights reveal the glittering urban lightscapes of the emirates, all subject to local visibility and air traffic control clearance.

Which flight suits which guest

Selecting Your Ideal Aerial Experience

Choosing the right flight depends on your schedule, group size, and whether you want a quick iconic loop or a grand cross-country journey. For those looking to experience our signature routes departing from Dubai before heading to Abu Dhabi, we offer distinct packages tailored to different travel styles.

Shared Tours vs. Private Charters

Shared tours are priced per guest and are ideal for solo travelers, couples, or small families. Private charters, such as The Imperial Tour and The Gulf Desert Tour, are priced per flight for up to 5 guests, offering complete exclusivity, customized attention, and flexible departure timing.

What it costs and what is included

Transparent Pricing Structure

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing with no hidden booking fees. Our shared tours are priced per seat, while our private charter flights are billed at a flat rate for the entire helicopter.

What is Included in Your Fare

Every flight booking includes your safety briefing, access to our heliport terminal facilities, and a passenger manifest registration. For those interested in regional transit, we also arrange bespoke private helicopter transfers to Abu Dhabi and Ras Al Khaimah, with pricing available upon direct inquiry with our charter team.

What you will see from the air

Iconic Dubai Landmarks

On our standard routes departing from Atlantis The Palm and the Dubai Police Academy, you will enjoy unobstructed views of the Burj Khalifa, the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab, and the masterfully engineered Palm Jumeirah. Longer flights like the City Circuit expand your view to include the historic Dubai Creek and the bustling Dubai Marina.

The Coastal and Desert Expansion

Choosing a private 60-minute Gulf Desert Tour allows you to witness the dramatic transition from the ultra-modern coastal skyline to the sweeping red dunes of the UAE desert. If you book a private transfer to Abu Dhabi, your flight path will follow the Arabian Gulf coastline, offering a spectacular bird's-eye view of the changing topography between the emirates.

Safety, licensing and what to confirm before you fly

Strict Aviation Regulations

Your safety is our absolute priority. We operate under strict UAE civil aviation regulations, utilizing state-of-the-art, air-conditioned helicopters maintained to the highest international standards. All flights are piloted by highly experienced, commercially licensed aviators.

Weather and Technical Policies

All flights run subject to visibility and favorable weather conditions. In the rare event of a weather-related or technical cancellation by our team, you are fully protected: we will either reschedule your flight free of charge or issue a 100% refund.

Who can fly - age, weight and health rules

Age and Supervision Guidelines

Under strict aviation safety laws, every passenger aged 2 and above must occupy their own individual seat. Children under the age of 2 are not permitted to fly. Children between the ages of 2 and 12 must be accompanied by an adult guardian at all times, and they pay the full per-seat price.

Weight Limitations

To maintain helicopter balance and performance, the maximum body weight limit on shared flights is 110 kg per passenger. Guests exceeding 110 kg must purchase an additional adjacent seat to satisfy safety requirements. For private charters, the total combined weight of the 5 passengers must fit within the helicopter's certified payload limits.

Check-in, timing and how the flight runs

Arrival and Check-In Window

All passengers must arrive at their designated departure heliport—either Atlantis The Palm or the Dubai Police Academy—exactly 45 minutes before their scheduled flight time. This ensures ample time for mandatory ID checks, weigh-ins, and your pre-flight safety briefing.

Required Documentation

Every passenger must present a valid physical passport or official UAE National ID card at check-in. Digital copies or screenshots cannot be accepted under civil aviation security protocols. Failure to present valid identification will result in boarding denial without a refund.

What to wear and bring

Dress Code for Flight Comfort

We recommend wearing comfortable, smart-casual clothing. Loose items like scarves or hats must be secured before boarding the aircraft. Because our helicopter cabins are fully air-conditioned, a light jacket or sweater is often comfortable.

Photography and Electronics

Cameras and smartphones are highly encouraged so you can capture the stunning vistas. However, professional camera gear, large lenses, and selfie sticks are strictly prohibited on board for safety reasons. All photography must be for personal use only.

Mistakes that spoil the flight

Booking Too Late in Peak Season

We require a booking lead time of at least 2 days under normal circumstances, but during peak tourist seasons, our slots fill up weeks in advance. Waiting until the last minute often means missing out on your preferred time slot or sunset flight.

Missing the Cancellation Window

We enforce a strict cancellation policy to ensure operational efficiency. If you need to cancel, doing so more than 96 hours before departure guarantees a 100% refund. Cancellations made between 48 and 96 hours receive a 50% refund, while cancellations under 48 hours are non-refundable.
