Heli Shuttle

Airport Heli Shuttle connects Kansai International Airport (KIX) with Kyoto by helicopter, offering a premium alternative to road and rail transfers. The service welcomes arriving passengers at the airport and flies them to the JPD Kyoto Heliport, avoiding traffic and train changes. Travelers can check availability and fares online and book from one seat; shared flights accommodate up to six passengers, subject to each flight’s minimum passenger requirement.

Private charters are also offered for groups, families, VIP transfers, and special occasions, with preferred time slots prioritized. Flights use the H130 helicopter, featuring a spacious cabin, panoramic views, and a low-noise design. For KIX-to-Kyoto bookings, baggage can be sent separately so passengers can explore hands-free.

The service operates on demand, and flight timing depends on passenger availability and operating conditions. The pilot makes the final decision on weather-related safety; cancellations caused by weather or the operator are eligible for a full refund, with alternative transport arrangements available on request. Children may travel, with age-based seating and fare conditions
