// ABOUT US

HOFO is not a market — it is a discipline.

FlyIn’ started with a clear mission: to offer personalised helicopter services specialised in yacht operations, without ever compromising safety. Safety is our cornerstone, and we treat every passenger as if they were part of our own family.

The company is led by a founder whose career began on Sikorsky helicopters as a Navy Aircrewman, with extensive ship-based rotary experience across the Aegean. That background — deck approach in changing sea states, salt-air procedure, fuel discipline, crew rotation cadence — is the same operational DNA we bring to every superyacht we serve.

It is why FlyIn’ is today the most experienced HOFO provider in Greece: not because we improvised the capability, but because we were trained in it.

The Greek Edge

The most experienced HOFO provider in Greece.

HOFO — Helicopter Offshore Operations — is one of the most demanding disciplines in civil aviation: rolling decks, hot fuel, restricted approach paths, customs and immigration in motion. It cannot be improvised.

FlyIn’ built that capability in Greece the only way it can be built — mission by mission, led by a former Sikorsky Navy Aircrewman with deep ship-based experience, and a dedicated dispatch desk for every operation.

Two Services, One Desk

Bring your aircraft, or use ours.

Whatever turns up under the rotors, FlyIn’ handles it. Either we dispatch and support your owner’s helicopter as it operates from your yacht in Greek waters, or we arrange a HOFO-approved aircraft on your deck through our charter desk.

01 · Ground

SVC·01Dispatch & Operational Support

Your helicopter, our ground game.

When a yacht arrives in Greece with its own helicopter on board, we take it from there. Permits, slots, parking, fuel, customs, repositioning — every operational detail that keeps a private rotor turning, handled by one team.

SVC·02HOFO-Licensed Charter

HOFO aircraft, at your deck.

When a yacht does not carry its own helicopter — or when extra lift is needed — FlyIn’ sources and arranges a HOFO-approved aircraft and crew to operate directly from your helideck. Touch-and-go, crew change, guest transfer, or seasonal block hours.

Case Record

Prysmian Group cable-lay project.

A two-season offshore programme that put our dispatch, scheduling and crew-change discipline through the full test.

2022 — 2023 · GREEK WATERS

200+ crew changed,
zero missed rotations.

FlyIn’ was contracted to run the helicopter crew-change programme for a large Prysmian Group submarine cable-lay project off the Greek coast. The job was relentless: rolling crew rotations into and out of a working construction vessel, weather windows that opened and closed by the hour, and a logistics chain stretching from Athens to the deck.

We coordinated permits, fuel, scheduling and the flights themselves. Over the run of the project we delivered more than 200 crew changes.
