ONLINE BOOKING SERVICE PUTS A HELICOPTER TRIP TO MACAU AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
Ever had a last-minute whim for something special but couldn’ t quite get round to making it happen? Or wanted to do something that seemed too distant to be true?
Now, the thrill of soaring into blue skies on a helicopter trip between Hong Kong and Macau is just a few seconds away with Sky Shuttle’ s convenient online booking service.
Whether it is business or pleasure, tourists and businessmen alike can enjoy this exhilarating experience.
The easy-to-navigate online booking process takes the pain and strain out of the normal booking scenario, confirming your reservation in seconds.
Sky Shuttle Helicopters currently operates 54 flights a day, with flights departing every 30 minutes between Macau and Hong Kong, and 12 fights a day between Macau and Shenzhen. Each flight takes a mere 15 minutes!
The online service is already proving to be a major asset for travelers.“ We are finding that this service is proving popular with our regular customers as well as from overseas tourists and leisure flyers,” a Sky Shuttle spokesperson said.
Being the largest commercial helicopter operator in the Pearl River Delta region, Sky Shuttle offers speedy and comfortable daily cross-boundary shuttle services with its fleet of AgustaWestland AW139 helicopters.
The AW139 offers unparalleled levels of safety and passenger comfort. Its generously spacious cabin caters for up to 12 passengers and has large view-windows, which are a popular feature with tourists. The helicopter also boasts a low interior noise level, while the cabin configuration not only gives passengers the opportunity to chat in-flight, but also has wide and roomy, individually-contoured leather seats.
A variety of special packages and tailor-made exclusive charter services are also on offer for travellers that want something just a little more special. For executives and jet-setters with time constraints making international air travel connections, Sky Shuttle strives to reduce travel time by a considerable margin by utilising its international airport commute services.
Getting to the helipad is also easy and convenient. The Sky Shuttle Heliport is based at the Hong Kong- Macau Ferry Terminal in Sheung Wan, which is a multi-modal transport hub in the heart of the Hong Kong business district.
The Macau heliport is at the Macau Ferry Terminal of the Outer Harbour, close to all the territory’ s major attractions, including resort hotels, restaurants and shops.
Passengers are advised to be at the terminal 30 minutes before their flight time, in order to complete immigration formalities and reach the comfortable and relaxing Sky Shuttle lounge before departure.
