Bird’s eye view

At BasqueHelicopters, we offer you the opportunity to get a bird’s eye view of the Basque Country. We want to fly over the most emblematic places on earth with the possibility of landing in the best restaurants to complete an unbeatable package.
We work hand in hand with BGHELICOPTERS and JETSYSTEMS, a company that holds passenger transport, aerial work and training school licences.

Luxury facilities

The IBERIA HANDLING agency will meet you when you arrive at San Sebastian airport (LESO), located in Hondarribia. Iberia’s ground operators will take care of all the administrative formalities and take you by minibus to where the helicopter is parked. At the end of the flight, you will be picked up again by a minibus and transferred to the terminal.
The airport has a bar/restaurant overlooking the runway to make the waiting time more pleasant for passengers.
