About Us

Hoverfly was founded from an idea by Saturnino De Cecco, who today serves as the Sole Director of the company. His vision was to establish a premier Italian helicopter operator dedicated to passenger transport, capable of delivering the highest standards of safety, efficiency, and comfort.

Today, Hoverfly stands as a benchmark in the sector thanks to its own fleet of helicopters, featuring both single-engine and twin-engine multi-crew models. This allows us to meet a wide range of operational and budgetary needs. Unlike simple brokers, Hoverfly owns and directly manages its aircraft, ensuring maximum transparency, control, and consistent quality for every client.

Hoverfly holds an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) and an Aerial Work Operator Certificate (COLA), and operates as a fully certified CAMO (Continuing Airworthiness Management Organization). This enables us to manage the ongoing airworthiness of both our fleet and aircraft belonging to private owners who entrust us with complete management: from maintenance scheduling to pilot provision and flight operations.

Our in-house certified maintenance department, staffed by highly qualified technicians, provides support across a range of models from leading manufacturers such as Leonardo, Airbus, and Robinson, ensuring optimal safety and performance.

Hoverfly also operates its own approved flight school, training new pilots through modular or integrated courses, offering type ratings on multiple helicopter models, as well as specialist certifications like the ICAO English TEA (Test of English for Aviation).

Complementing our helicopter services, Hoverfly is also an exclusive broker for private jet charters and a wide portfolio of luxury travel solutions. From organizing executive flights on business jets to seamlessly connecting helicopters with jets, arranging yacht transfers, and coordinating high-end chauffeured car services, we design fully tailor-made experiences that cater precisely to each client’s lifestyle and travel needs.

With a dedicated team available 24/7, Hoverfly manages every detail of your journey, transforming each trip into a truly exclusive experience where personalized service and meticulous attention to detail take center stage.

Our Mission

Hoverfly’s mission is to elevate the very concept of executive air transport, transforming it into a truly tailor-made experience, carefully crafted around the needs, desires, and lifestyle of each client. Since its inception, Hoverfly has stood out in the aviation landscape for its ability to deliver bespoke solutions that seamlessly integrate helicopter transport, private jet services, and a comprehensive array of luxury offerings, becoming the benchmark for those who demand the highest levels of exclusivity and reliability.

We operate with our own fleet of single- and twin-engine helicopters, directly managed under our AOC, COLA, and CAMO certifications. This allows us not only to conduct executive and tourist flights to the highest standards of safety and quality, but also to handle the complete technical and operational management of aircraft owned by entrepreneurs and corporations. Our engineers are certified on the main Leonardo, Airbus, and Robinson models, ensuring impeccable fleet efficiency, while our pilots maintain their excellence through continuous training in our own flight academy, recognized across Europe for type rating courses and additional qualifications such as the TEA (Test of English for Aviation).

But Hoverfly does far more than simply fly its clients from point A to point B: we design and coordinate exclusive journeys where every detail is thoughtfully orchestrated to deliver a truly personalized experience. From combining helicopter segments with private jet routes or yacht transfers, to arranging luxury car services and VIP airport handling, every stage is managed with the utmost care and professionalism, guaranteeing seamless continuity, comfort, and discretion. With an operational structure active 24/7, we offer unparalleled flexibility, enabling departures at the desired time to any national or international destination.

This vision of service as a holistic, bespoke experience lies at the very heart of Hoverfly’s philosophy. Our goal is not merely to take passengers to their destinations, but to accompany them through an exclusive journey where they can recognize the craftsmanship behind every detail, the security of being entrusted to certified professionals, and the certainty of enjoying truly unforgettable moments. It is why we aspire to become a trusted partner for every client, bringing our expertise, our passion, and our ability to turn each trip into a unique and unrepeatable experience.

Our school issues licenses and type ratings, including TEA courses for English language proficiency in aviation, supporting both new and experienced pilots.

Thanks to our luxury brokerage division, we can arrange fully bespoke travel solutions that combine private jets, yachts, helicopters, and top-tier ground services such as luxury car transfers, airport fast tracks, and VIP concierge assistance.
