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.
- Landing at the resort’s helipad requires prior authorisation from the management, which the operator requests together with the arrival time; in the mountains, fog and low cloud may call for another time slot.
- The flight is visual, so arrival is planned in daylight; families travel with children and luggage on the same flight.
- During the stay, the helicopter can take you to Campos do Jordão, over the Mantiqueira or back to São Paulo for a meeting.
How the price is set
The price is worked out case by case: jet model, aircraft positioning, one-way or return, airport and overflight fees, the helicopter leg and extra services. On intercontinental routes, empty legs (repositioning flights) can lower the cost when dates match.
