Helicopter Flights to and from Davos

Davos is one of the world’s leading international destinations for institutional meetings, finance, business and major events. During the World Economic Forum, managing movements becomes particularly complex, with a high concentration of passengers, aircraft, ground transfers and operational procedures. FlairFly arranges Helicopter Flights to and from Davos to airports, hubs and Alpine destinations across Switzerland and neighbouring countries, coordinating each request according to the mission, schedule, number of passengers and any connections with a private jet. The service is designed for UHNWIs, Family Offices, CEOs, executives, Personal Assistants, Executive Assistants, Chiefs of Staff, corporate travel managers and concierge professionals who require a private aviation solution and a single point of contact to manage the entire mission.

Helicopter Flights to and from Davos during the World Economic Forum

The World Economic Forum is Davos’s leading international event. The 2027 edition, the 57th Annual Meeting, will take place from 18 to 22 January at the Congress Centre in Davos and will bring together more than 3,000 leaders, including heads of state and government, political leaders, CEOs and Chairs from around the world. During a week of this scale, a helicopter is not simply a faster alternative to travelling by road. It can become part of the overall mission planning, both for reaching Davos and for continuing from Davos to another destination. This is particularly relevant when a passenger needs to coordinate an arrival by private jet, one or more meetings in Davos and a subsequent departure to another location. Planning can therefore cover the entire itinerary, from the arrival airport and helicopter transfer through to the onward flight. As with previous editions, specific aviation procedures are also expected to apply during the WEF 2027 period. Operations to Davos Stilli, identified by ICAO code LSMV, have historically been subject to special provisions during WEF week, with particular attention to connections arriving from abroad. The official provisions for the 2027 edition are published by the relevant authorities closer to the event: FlairFly always checks the latest documentation available at the time of the request. For this reason, an itinerary such as Milan-Davos, Paris-Davos or London-Davos, as well as a subsequent departure from Davos to Milan, Paris, London or another destination, should not be assessed solely on geographical distance. During the WEF, the point of entry into Switzerland, the airport used for formalities, operator availability, authorisations, operating windows and coordination with the passenger’s schedule also need to be considered. FlairFly always starts with the overall mission, rather than simply the helicopter leg.

Davos Stilli, the reference point for WEF operations

Davos Stilli Heliport is identified by ICAO code LSMV and is located in the Davos Dorf area. The facility is directly associated with World Economic Forum operations and the specific aviation procedures applied during the event. Its coordinates are 46.8122, 9.8499 (46°48’44.0″N, 9°50’59.5″E), at an elevation of approximately 1,572 metres above sea level. For recent WEF editions, aviation documentation has indicated an operating window at Davos Stilli from 08:00 to 22:00 local time, applied as a special provision during the Forum period. For the 2027 edition, the definitive operating hours will be confirmed by the aviation documentation published closer to the event and should not be considered permanent heliport operating hours. For any request relating to the World Economic Forum 2027, it is therefore essential to plan the mission taking into account the provisions that will be published for the edition, as well as actual aircraft availability and the operating conditions on the day of the flight.

Which airports can be used for a helicopter flight to Davos?

Davos can be reached by helicopter from numerous airports and points across the Alpine network. The most appropriate solution depends on the passenger’s origin, the type of aircraft used for any preceding flight and the objective of the mission. Key connection points include Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Bern, St. Gallen-Altenrhein, Samedan, Lugano, Locarno, Mollis and Buochs. From Italy, connections from Milan Malpensa and Bolzano can also be considered, along with other airports compatible with the requested mission. For clients arriving in Switzerland or the Alpine region by private jet, the transfer can be structured as an integrated private jet + helicopter solution. The arrival airport is assessed according to availability, applicable formalities, location and the onward connection to Davos. For missions requiring specific coordination between aircraft and ground transfers, FlairFly can assess the entire operational sequence through its helicopter charter service.

The main destinations connected to Davos

The network of connections to and from Davos includes airports and destinations across Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Germany and France. Switzerland: Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Bern, St. Gallen-Altenrhein, Samedan, Lugano, Locarno, Mollis and Buochs. Italy: Milan Malpensa and Bolzano. Austria and Germany: Innsbruck, Salzburg, Munich, Friedrichshafen and Stuttgart. France: Lyon, Dijon and Strasbourg. These connections represent a reference network for planning private transfers to and from Davos. The feasibility of each individual route depends on the airport or heliport involved, the helicopter assigned, operating conditions and the authorisations required.

Private jet + helicopter to reach Davos

For a passenger arriving from abroad, the value of a helicopter transfer becomes particularly evident when it is integrated into the overall itinerary. A client can arrive by private jet at a suitable airport, complete the required formalities and continue to Davos by helicopter. The choice of arrival airport should therefore not be determined solely by its distance from Davos, but by the total time required to complete the mission. This approach is particularly relevant for a UHNWI, executive or delegation working within a limited time window and following a precise schedule. FlairFly can coordinate the request as part of a broader private aviation solution, assessing the helicopter connection together with the other elements of the itinerary.

Milan, Zurich and the other gateways to Davos

Zurich is one of the main international gateways for those travelling to Davos. For a passenger arriving on a private or commercial flight, a helicopter connection can be considered as an alternative to ground transportation. Milan is particularly relevant for clients travelling from Italy and the Mediterranean. A connection from Milan Malpensa to Davos can be assessed as part of a private mission, as can a combined solution involving a preceding private jet flight. In the opposite direction, a flight from Davos to Milan can be integrated into the itinerary of a passenger continuing to Italy or to other international destinations. Other gateways, including Basel, Geneva, St. Gallen-Altenrhein, Friedrichshafen, Innsbruck and Samedan, may prove more efficient depending on the passenger’s origin and the structure of the itinerary.

The value of time during the WEF

During the World Economic Forum, time is not simply an item on the itinerary: it is an operational resource. The concentration of delegations, vehicles, meetings and activities in the Davos region can make ground transportation less predictable than during a normal period of the year. For an executive attending several meetings on the same day, even a relatively small variation in transfer times can affect the entire schedule. A helicopter transfer makes it possible to consider an air connection between points compatible with the operation, both for reaching Davos and for continuing to another destination, reducing dependence on road traffic and allowing a more efficient sequence to be planned. This is why, in the context of WEF 2027, the right question is not simply how much a helicopter flight costs, but how much it is worth to keep the passenger’s schedule under control.

A service for Personal Assistants, Executive Assistants and Family Offices

Requests relating to Davos are often handled by a Personal Assistant, Executive Assistant, Chief of Staff, Travel Manager or Family Office on behalf of the passenger. The request may include the date, time, departure point, number of passengers, baggage, sports equipment, private jet arrival airport, final destination and meeting schedules. When the programme requires it, the return flight, multiple transfers on the same day or a sequence of flight legs within the same itinerary can also be considered. The result is a proposal built around the mission, rather than simply an hourly quotation.

Passengers, baggage and equipment

The number of passengers, total weight and baggage volume should be considered at the initial stage of the request. This can be particularly relevant for Davos when passengers are travelling with skis, snowboards, winter equipment, hard-shell luggage or other bulky baggage. The configuration actually available depends on the helicopter assigned and the operating conditions of the mission. For this reason, aircraft selection should consider not only the number of seats, but also the actual weight and volume to be carried.

Weather conditions and Alpine flight planning

Davos is located at a high altitude, and operations in an Alpine environment require specific assessment of visibility, wind, cloud cover, winter conditions and other operational parameters. A flight quotation therefore does not constitute a guarantee of operation regardless of the conditions on the day: final confirmation depends on operational feasibility and the conditions applicable to the mission. If the original destination cannot be used, alternative solutions compatible with the itinerary may be considered, potentially combined with a private ground transfer.

Helicopter Flights from Davos for private transfers

In addition to requirements related to the World Economic Forum, Davos can be the starting point for private transfers to international airports, Alpine destinations and other points across the European network. For those staying in Davos and needing to continue to a private jet, another Alpine location or an international destination, a helicopter connection can be integrated into the travel programme without having to organise each stage separately. At the same time, Davos can be reached by helicopter from compatible airports and destinations in Switzerland and neighbouring countries, creating a direct connection between the passenger’s arrival point and final destination. For private, executive or corporate missions, FlairFly assesses the solution based on the overall programme and coordinates the request with qualified operators.
