Extended Istanbul Helicopter Sightseeing

The 45-minute helicopter tour lets pilots weave a richer route when ATC allows—more time over the Bosphorus, bridges, and selected city landmarks.

Best for photography teams, VIP delegations, and anyone celebrating a milestone who wants space to enjoy the flight twice over.

  • Wider routing — Additional legs when air traffic and weather cooperate.
  • Photography friendly — Time to shoot both shores and skyline transitions.
  • VIP hosting — Comfortable for executive guests and private celebrations.
  • Safety first — Full briefing; flights only in suitable conditions.

Flight Path

Extended profile builds on the 30-minute pattern with additional segments along the Bosphorus and, when permitted, toward Princes’ Islands views or the historic peninsula—final track is always pilot and ATC determined.

  1. Briefing and boarding at the Istanbul heliport
  2. Take-off and climb along the Bosphorus corridor
  3. Scenic leg per ATC (bridges, shores, or peninsula)
  4. Optional extended segment when flight plan allows
  5. Descent, landing, and disembarkation
