There is no individual weight limit however there is a maximum total weight limit for the aircraft. Accurate passenger weights are critical for the safe operation of helicopters, please ensure that any supplied passengers’ weights are as accurate as possible. Professional Helicopter Services are required by law to measure the weights of all passengers and any cargo that are transported on our helicopters before flight and mismatches between supplied and actual weights can lead to significant delays or non-refundable cancellations in some circumstances.

Our Northern Territory helicopter experiences take off from 8:30 am through to sunset, 365 days a year – weather permitting. Harsh weather conditions such as strong winds, torrential rain or dangerous storms may impact our ability to carry out safe flights which will lead to us cancelling flights. If this is the case our team will be in contact with you regarding rescheduling your flight but there is no need to worry, there are very few days a year we have to reschedule!

Our Uluru helicopter flights do not directly fly over Uluru. No flights are permitted to fly over Uluru as it is protected land as it holds great cultural significance to the Indigenous people of Australia. As our Uluru helicopter flights do operate on and above sacred land, we ensure we follow all protocol to ensure we are showing our respect to the original custodians of the land as well as the land itself.

As we operate a large fleet of helicopters, our aircraft can carry between 4 – 6 passengers per flight pending the aircraft being utilised on the day. All helicopters are assigned due to a number of operational reasons including aircraft availability, weather, maintenance and total weights of all passengers on board. If you are travelling with more than 6 passengers, please reach out to our friendly reservations team and they will assist in catering to your group.
