Introduction to Elba Island by helicopter
Reach the Tuscan island by helicopter, quickly and easily
At the heart of the Tuscan archipelago, the island of Elba seduces with its varied terrain, secluded coves, hilltop villages and boutique hotels. Every summer, it attracts a discrete clientele in search of natural elegance, calm and unspoilt landscapes. AEROAFFAIRES offers direct access to Elba by helicopter, departing from the main Italian cities or the Côte d’Azur.
Our helicopters can land either at the Marina di Campo aerodrome, or directly on the premises of certain high-end hotels, such as the Hermitage Hotel & Resort.
Practical information about Elba by helicopter
Save precious time by flying to Elba
Reaching Elba by helicopter means avoiding long road journeys, waiting at landing stages and the constraints of ferry schedules. A direct flight from Rome, for example, takes around 60 minutes, compared with more than 4 hours by road, to which must be added waiting times and ferry crossings. From Florence or Forte dei Marmi, the journey takes just 40 minutes, with no change of vehicle or connection. By opting for the helicopter, you save time, flexibility… and peace of mind on arrival.
