The world's busiest shipping strait, the narrowest gap between two continents, and the only place where Spain meets Morocco by air. We arrange private helicopter charter across the Strait on Agusta AW139 — the only twin-turbine, 9-pax-VIP airframe certified for this corridor.
The Strait of Gibraltar separates Europe from Africa by fourteen kilometres at its narrowest. The ferry takes ninety minutes door-to-door with the port queue. Private AW139 takes seven. Spain operates two enclaves on the African coast — Ceuta and Melilla — and a private helicopter is the only way to make either of them part of a same-day Costa del Sol itinerary.
The headline crossing — the world's shortest international helicopter sector. Helipads at both ends are AENA-operated and sit inside the ferry-port perimeter on the Spanish side, walking distance to the Ceuta city centre on the African side. Private AW139 charter only — booked by the aircraft, not the seat.
The longer crossing — and the one that matters for clients arriving at Málaga (AGP) on a private jet. Direct AW139 transfer from the AGP general-aviation apron to the Ceuta heliport: thirty minutes, no border road, no ferry, no taxi. Full aircraft charter, no shared service.
From Algeciras, Gibraltar, Ceuta or Marbella across the Strait into Morocco. The only legal helicopter route across — operated by cleared partner crews with diplomatic-grade flight plans. Eighteen minutes from Algeciras to Tangier Ibn Battuta, customs and immigration handled at private-aviation terminal both ends.
A sightseeing product, not a transfer. Forty-five minutes from any of the four Strait heliports tracing the Rock of Gibraltar, the African coast, the cargo lanes, the Pillars of Hercules. Sold per-aircraft, two-pilot AW139 — the same airframe that operates the scheduled service.
Flyin' operates the Strait of Gibraltar exclusively on private Agusta AW139 — booked by the full aircraft, not the seat. Twin-turbine, IFR-rated, 9-passenger VIP cabin configuration, all-weather Strait-qualified crew. Departures from any of the four AENA-licensed Strait heliports.
