Rio de Janeiro Helicopter Fleet

All flights are operated by experienced pilots with valid pilot licenses issued by Brazil’s ANAC. Upon request, our VIP flights can be operated by two pilots.

Safety and Pre-flight Briefings

Prior to take-off, a 3-minute security briefing shall be conducted for all passengers. We will ask about your prior experience with helicopters and demonstrate the correct way to board the aircraft. Please make sure all your loose items are secured once you enter the helicopter. Our marshalling team will open the doors before and after touchdown, secure or unfasten safety belts, and direct passengers to and from the helicopter.

The Meeting Points and Lounges

All takeoff sites, the Olympic Golf Course included, have waiting lounges with complimentary snacks, water and coffee. Make the most of your time before takeoff by arriving 30 minutes in advance to utilize our complimentary Wi-Fi and plan your upcoming airborne photo shoot.
