Why hire a private jet in Lisbon
Once upon a time, private aircraft were the sole domain of royalty and rock stars. But over the past years, private air travel has become more accessible than ever, with many professionals and holidaymakers choosing to book a private aircraft for a host of reasons.
Exclusivity and privacy are still the main reasons of course, but with the strain on commercial air travel over the peak season many people simply do not want to risk their well-laid travel plans with possible delays, overbookings and cancellations.
Another reason is that many people have second homes in Portugal, so being able to transport limitless luggage, the whole family and even the family pet seamlessly and efficiently is a huge advantage.
For the business traveller who needs to maximise their time and perhaps conduct a debriefing session on their flight from Lisbon to Madrid, chartering a private jet represents the ultimate in time-saving efficiency.
What’s more, Lisbon's strategic location on the western edge of Europe makes it an ideal starting point for exploring other European destinations and even transatlantic flights. From the pristine beaches of the Azores to the historic charm of Barcelona, private jet travellers can effortlessly hop from one exclusive destination to another.
Lisbon's Portela Airport is the main international gateway to the city. It is well-equipped to handle private jet traffic seamlessly from a designated terminal, where travellers bypass security and passport lines and disembark minus the typical hassles associated with commercial flights, such as long security lines and crowded terminals.
Once you arrive, you can be in central Lisbon in under 15 minutes, or even charter a private helicopter to take you further afield, such as your holiday villa in the Algarve.
Helicopter charter in Portugal
Lisbon is a relatively small country, and chartering a helicopter is a popular way to whisk you to your destination in the green hinterlands or all along the coast. But while convenience is important, chartering a helicopter in Lisbon is about enjoying the ride too.
Imagine soaring above iconic landmarks such as the historic São Jorge Castle, the picturesque Belem Tower, and the scenic coastline along the Tagus River. With a private helicopter charter, you can customise your route to include the stunning Sintra mountains or the beautiful Cascais beaches. Experience unparalleled views of Lisbon's vibrant cityscape and its rich cultural heritage. Whether for a special occasion, a romantic date, or a unique sightseeing adventure, chartering a helicopter in Lisbon provides an unforgettable and exclusive way to appreciate the city's beauty from a privileged vantage point.

Embarking on a hot air balloon adventure in Portugal also reveals its diverse tapestry of landscapes and cultural landmarks.
