Hoverfly S.r.l. (Executive Helicopter Company)

Hoverfly is an Italian executive aviation company that has operated since 2009. It offers helicopter transfers across Italy and Europe, private jet charter, helicopter maintenance and a pilot training academy. Its customers are business and leisure travelers who want private air travel.

Helicopter transfers are the core of the business. Hoverfly flies a fleet of single engine and twin engine helicopters to destinations across Italy. Customers ask for a quotation on the website by giving the departure and arrival points, dates and number of passengers.

The helicopter fleet includes the Eurocopter AS355N, EC130 B4, EC120B and H125, the Leonardo A109S Trekker, A109SP and AW139, and the Robinson R22. Passenger capacity runs from one on the R22 up to ten on the AW139. The A109 and AW139 models are listed with IFR instruments. The other models are listed with VFR instruments.

Private jets are arranged through a network of partner operators and are available on request. The site groups them by size. Turboprops include the Pilatus PC12 and several Beechcraft King Air models. Very light jets include the Cessna Citation Mustang and the Embraer Phenom 100. Super light jets include the Pilatus PC24, the Embraer Phenom 300 and several Learjet and Citation models.

Hoverfly also offers helicopter maintenance. The website says it holds CAMO and Part 145 approvals. As an Air Operator Certificate holder, it runs its own flights. It is also an approved training organization.

The Pilot Training Academy covers PPL training, type ratings and licence renewal. The sales headquarters is in Pescara, and the operational headquarters is in Bellizzi, in the province of Salerno. The website has separate pages for Salerno, Milan, Rome and Naples airports.

Hoverfly lists a few outside resources on its website. These include Capri Helicopters, Jet Private and a quick flight shop. Clients can send a request with special requirements, and the site promises a fast, discreet response with no obligation.
