Helicopter Charter UAE

While both options provide private, non-scheduled flights, they cater to different needs. Business helicopter charter in UAE is focused on corporate use, like transporting executives between sites, offices and events with minimal delay. These flights prioritize efficiency, confidentiality and professionalism.

On the other hand, private helicopter charters cater to individuals, groups or families looking for leisure, event-based travel or sightseeing. It is more customizable and relaxed in nature. We at SV Charter support both categories with tailored aircraft, flight crews and services to ensure every trip meets your exact expectations.

Twin engine models like the AgustaWestland AW109 and Bell 429 sit between AED 10,000 and AED 18,000 per hour. Heavy VIP helicopters such as the Sikorsky S-76 exceed AED 20,000 hourly.
