The helicopter leg

  • For the last leg, twin-engine executive helicopters are recommended: the Airbus H145, for 6 to 8 passengers with a large rear baggage hold, or the AgustaWestland A109E Power, fast and with a VIP cabin.
  • The helicopter lands at an authorised helipad near the hotel, set when booking, and a car covers the last stretch; landing is arranged in advance.
  • The flight is visual, so arrival is planned in daylight; families travel with children and luggage on the same flight.
  • Guarulhos is the alternative when Catarina’s timing or slot doesn’t work; during the stay, the helicopter can take you to meetings, the coast or the mountains.
