Air Bali plans to operate regular services between Bali and Gili T every Friday and Sunday. Additional flights will be available on Wednesday, subject to passenger numbers. Of course, charters are available on any day for guests wanting to charter the helicopter privately. Lombok transfers, possibly direct between Senggigi and Bali, are also planned for the future.
There are no airport hassles or delays, as you fly direct from the state-of-the-art Heliport in Benoa Harbour, and you land directly on Gili T, at the existing helipad on Paradise Sunset Beach. With 20 years of flying experience in Bali and a 100% safety record, Air Bali offers tours and charters using a Bell 206 Long Ranger Helicopter operated by Western pilots and engineers, with seating for up to five passengers.
Air Bali also offer specialized tours of majestic volcano's and scenic beaches, as well as private picnics, helicopter weddings, hotel transfers, and other flights, whether it be getting to the golf course on time or life-saving air lifts and medical retrieval flights. On board the comfortable helicopter, guests flying on the Bali - Gili T route will enjoy a bird’s eye view of Bali’s stunning scenery as the helicopter flies along the north-east coast of Bali, with views of Mount Agung on the left and Lembongan Island to the right.
On the approach to Gili T, passengers have their first glimpse of Mount Rinjani, Indonesia's second highest volcano, dominating the landscape of Lombok. The three, brilliantly white Gilis lay below, fringed by reefs and surrounded by a clear sea that graduates from turquoise to deep azure. Touching down at Paradise Sunset Beach, friendly local faces are waiting to greet guests and whisk them off to their hotel or villa by horse and cart (there is no motorized transport on the island).
