Greece’s pioneering scheduled helicopter airline, hoper, sets a new benchmark in luxury travel by launching an advanced B2B booking platform and forging strategic partnerships with top-tier travel agencies, hotels, and distribution networks. As the summer season approaches, hoper’s innovative technology and growing network transform Greek island travel, providing a seamless, high-end experience for travellers and industry professionals.
Game-Changer for Greek Aviation
Launched in 2024, hoper is Greece’s first commercial scheduled helicopter airline, offering daily flights to 15 sought-after destinations, including Santorini, Mykonos, Milos, Syros, Antiparos, and the hidden gem of Anafi island. With bases in Athens, Santorini, and Mykonos, the company is revolutionizing island hopping by combining cutting-edge booking technology with a premium aviation experience.
As part of its expansion, hoper has launched a dedicated back-end booking system, empowering hotels, travel agencies, and destination management companies (DMCs) to integrate helicopter flights into their service offerings. This innovation bridges the gap between luxury accommodations and swift, hassle-free island transfers, enhancing the overall guest experience.
Strategic Partnerships: Elevating the Travel Industry
collaborations with prestigious travel networks and luxury hospitality brands drive hoper’s success. The company has aligned with DMC leaders Eclectic Greece by Kyvernitis Travel and Embark Beyond and select five-star resorts such as Kalesma Mykonos and Verina Sifnos.
hoper – Scheduled, daily heli hops to the Greek Islands
According to George Kyvernitis, CEO of Kyvernitis Group, this partnership marks a transformative shift in Greek tourism:
“hoper’s scheduled-helicopter service is a game-changer for Greek travel. By integrating this service into our network, we are redefining island hopping, offering premium travel experiences, and providing our clients with unparalleled flexibility and efficiency.”
Kyvernitis emphasizes that hoper’s seamless connectivity aligns perfectly with the high-end travel market, particularly for affluent travellers from the United States seeking unique, personalized itineraries.
Expanding Booking Accessibility
To further streamline the booking process, hoper has joined forces with key booking platforms, including:
- Ferryscanner – allowing travellers to book helicopter flights just as quickly as they would a ferry.
- Liknoss is a leading European ferry ticket distribution company that enhances travel agent and operator access to Hoper’s services.
- Viator—an upcoming partnership that will place Hoper’s flights on the world’s premier travel experience marketplace, expanding its global reach.
By integrating with these platforms, hoper ensures its scheduled helicopter services are accessible to travel professionals and independent travellers, maximizing convenience and visibility.
Luxury Travel Made Accessible
hoper’s fleet of modern Robinson helicopters, equipped with glass cockpits and cutting-edge safety features, sets a new standard for aviation excellence in Greece. The airline’s per-seat booking model allows passengers to share flight costs, making luxury helicopter travel more accessible to a broader audience while maintaining an exclusive, premium experience.
This pioneering approach means that visitors can maximize their vacation time by bypassing long ferry rides and congested airport connections, opting for a breathtaking aerial journey over Greece’s iconic landscapes instead.
The Future of Island Travel
With a mission to redefine Greek travel through innovation, strategic partnerships, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, hoper is reshaping transportation and elevating Greece’s position as a premier luxury destination.
