From which airports can you fly helicopter?

🏁 Fixed boarding locations at 123Helicopter Flights

At 123Helikopterflights, we have a number of fixed airports and boarding locations in the Netherlands where you can take off directly for a helicopter flight. Think Hilversum, Lelystad, Harskamp, Emmen and other locations that are centrally located for optimal accessibility.

From those fixed locations, you fly over regions, cities, natural areas or even your home area, depending on route and flight duration.

✈️ What about Teuge, Eelde, Texel, Breda/Seppe and other airports?

You may have seen that Teuge, Eelde, Texel, Breda/Seppe, Twente, Ameland and Hoogeveen are listed on the website as places where you can take (or fly over) a helicopter flight. However: we do not take off from these airports by default. But there are possibilities:

• You can, however, fly to the listed places as a destination or overflight location (so the helicopter comes over that).
• If you really want to take off from one of the aforementioned locations, it is technically possible via a ferry flight (the empty transfer from our base location to that airport), but you pay extra for that.
• So: if you opt for a flight from one of the airports, you should realise that the helicopter must first come from, say, Hilversum, Lelystad or another take-off location. That empty flight (there and back) will be charged for.

In practice, this boils down to this: it is often much cheaper to drive yourself to one of our fixed pick-up locations and start your helicopter flight there, then you only pay for the flight time of the actual flight, with no additional ferry charges.

But note: everything is possible by mutual agreement. If you have a special wish, we will be happy to discuss the possibilities.

💡 Why start from fixed locations?

• Lower costs: no resources or relocation of the helicopter beforehand.
• Reliability: our pilots, crew and logistics are tuned in to those locations.
• Convenience for customers: better parking, facilities, maintenance & preparation on site.

🛫 What should you ask for when booking?

If you book through us, it's a good idea to ask the following questions so there are no surprises:

• From which airport do we take off?
• Is a ferry flight required to your desired pick-up location? If so, what are the costs?
• How much extra flight time is needed for round trip?
• Are there any specific permits or restrictions on the airport you want?
• Can we use an alternative boarding location to save costs?

📞 We like to think with you

Would you like to fly from Teuge, Eelde or another airport? We will gladly look at what is possible together, but keep in mind that you often have extra costs for ferry flights. In most cases, you will be cheaper if you drive to one of our fixed transfer points and take off there. That said: everything is negotiable.
