Good to know
- Extended overwater flight is regulated: it requires a twin-engine aircraft and life jackets on board — the rule under which this route is flown.
- Genoa is a public commercial airport, not a dedicated heliport: landing depends on a slot confirmed with your quote.
- Cross-border flight: valid photo ID is required for every passenger and filed with the flight manifest.
- Flights operate under VFR: in degraded weather the departure is postponed rather than flown in marginal conditions.
