About us

Rewriting the rules of travel to the Greek islands.

Getting to the islands can be slow and complicated. We turn hours into minutes and give you back half a day of your holiday.

Our story

hoper started with a simple idea: islands should feel close. A ferry, a transfer and a wait can take most of a day. A helicopter hop takes minutes, and the flight becomes the most memorable part of the trip.

Today we are a Greek helicopter operator with our own aircraft and pilots, based at Athens International Airport. We fly private trips across the Aegean — island transfers, hotel connections and special occasions.

The operator and the marketplace

hoper, the operator (flyhoper.gr) holds an Air Operator Certificate from the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority (HCAA) (AOC GR-060). We own the aircraft, employ the crew and are responsible for every flight we operate.

flyhoper.com, the marketplace is a separate company. It sells our flights together with flights of other helicopter operators in Greece and abroad. You book our flights on flyhoper.com.
