The Flight Experience

When time is of the essence and discretion is paramount, the Agusta AW109 delivers unparalleled logistical superiority. Arriving at a bustling hub like Milas-Bodrum Airport (BJV) during the peak summer season often guarantees ground delays. Our elite VIP Aviation division bypasses this friction entirely. Your concierge will escort you directly from your arriving jet to the AW109 waiting gracefully on the tarmac.

Manufactured by Leonardo Helicopters and strictly maintained to EASA aviation safety directives, the AW109 is engineered for both speed and stability. As part of our Helicopters fleet, this aircraft allows you to dictate your own timeline. Within minutes of takeoff, the congested coastal roads fade away, replaced by sweeping panoramic views of the Riviera.

Whether you need a rapid point-to-point transfer to a secluded villa, or an exacting precision landing on the deck of your luxury yacht charter anchored in a remote bay, the AW109 executes the mission flawlessly. It is not just a transfer; it is a seamless extension of your high-net-worth lifestyle, designed to maximize your most valuable asset: your time.

Technical Specifications

Foire aux questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the luggage capacity of the Agusta AW109?
A : The AW109 is a sleek, fast, light-twin helicopter. It features a 34 cubic foot rear baggage compartment. While it perfectly accommodates standard carry-ons and soft-sided maritime duffels for 5 passengers, large, hard-sided heavy suitcases may require a separate ground or sea luggage transfer.

Q: Can the AW109 land directly on a chartered yacht?
A : Yes. Due to its highly agile profile and relatively light maximum takeoff weight compared to heavy rotorcraft, the AW109 is one of the most preferred helicopters for direct landings on commercially certified superyacht helipads.

Q: Is this helicopter safe for over-water flights to the Greek Islands or along the Riviera?
A : Absolutely. The Agusta AW109 is equipped with redundant twin-engine technology. This ensures Category A performance and maximum safety for all maritime, coastal, and over-water operations, complying with strict global aviation safety standards.
