Charter flights and helicopter tours offer the chance to rent a helicopter for visiting places inaccessible by regular air routes. In this blog, I’ll delve into the various types of charter flights and helicopter tours available in Colombia.
Types of Charter Flights by Helicopter
The types of helicopter charter flights are:
Private Charter Flights
These are flights for a small group with a personalized itinerary. You can choose the destination, schedule, duration, and helicopter type to suit your needs, whether for leisure, business, or family trips.
The maximum number of passengers and the aircraft’s range depend on the helicopter’s size and model, typically accommodating between 4 and 8 passengers and covering distances of 186 to 372 miles, respectively.
Group Charter Flights
These flights cater to larger groups with a more standardized itinerary. While offering various destination and schedule options, they provide less flexibility compared to private charter flights, ideal for incentive trips, events, or tourism.
The maximum number of passengers and the aircraft’s range depend on the helicopter’s size and model, typically accommodating between 8 and 16 passengers and covering distances of 186 to 372 miles, respectively.
Cargo Charter Flights
These flights transport oversized or heavy goods unsuitable for other means of transportation, ideal for industrial projects, construction, or humanitarian aid.
The maximum cargo weight and aircraft range depend on the helicopter’s size and model, typically ranging between 1,102 and 8,818 pounds and covering distances of 186 to 372 miles, respectively.
Emergency Charter Flights
These flights evacuate people or goods during emergencies like natural disasters, armed conflicts, or accidents. Available anytime, the charter company or broker coordinates rescue operations.

Sporting Tours
Experience extreme sports like skydiving or skiing, lasting between 1 and 4 hours, depending on the sport, difficulty and location.
Business Tours
