Frequently Asked Questions About the Flight Experience
The questions we get asked most about our flight experience.
What Is a Flight Experience?
A flight experience is a short flight focused on the experience itself rather than transportation — you take off with real pilots in a small aircraft and view Istanbul, or your chosen region, from the sky.
Do I Need Prior Flying Experience?
No. Our flight experiences are designed for passengers with no experience; a licensed pilot is always responsible for the safety of the flight, and you can even take the controls on aircraft that allow it if you'd like.
How Long Does a Flight Experience Last?
We offer durations ranging from 15 to 90 minutes depending on the aircraft type, so you can pick the experience that best fits your budget and schedule.
Do Prices Vary by Region?
Yes, prices vary by aircraft type, flight duration and region; besides Istanbul we also offer regional alternatives such as gyrocopter experiences in Antalya and glider experiences in Eskişehir.
Everything About the Flight Experience
Flight experience has become a rapidly growing activity in Turkey in recent years, one that focuses on the experience itself rather than transportation. Boarding a light aircraft or helicopter with a real, licensed pilot and watching your city or the region you're visiting from the sky is an increasingly popular choice for aviation enthusiasts and anyone looking for an unusual gift alike.
At Türkiye Hava Taksi, we offer the flight experience in eight different regions — Istanbul, Ankara, Bodrum, Antalya, Tekirdağ, Samsun, Bursa and Izmir — each with its own aircraft model, route and pricing. In Istanbul you can depart from Hezarfen Airport to see the historic peninsula and the Bosphorus; in Ankara, the capital from above with departure from Esenboga Airport; in Bodrum, the bays and the castle aboard a premium helicopter; in Antalya, a route from Land of Legends to Alanya Castle from our own private airstrip; and in Tekirdağ, tours covering the Marmara coastline and vineyards.
Alongside our regional flight experiences, we also offer flights on aircraft models such as the Cessna 172 Skyhawk flight experience, Cirrus SR22 GTS Turbo, Piper Archer DX, Diamond DA40 and Pipistrel Virus, with capacity options ranging from private solo flights to group flights of up to 3 people. Alternative flight experiences such as a gyrocopter in Antalya, a helicopter tour in Istanbul, and gliding in the Eskişehir/İnönü region are also part of our fleet.
No prior experience is required for a flight experience — a licensed pilot is always responsible for the safety of the flight, and you can choose to place your hand on the controls on hands-on-flight aircraft, or simply enjoy the view and take photos. This flexibility makes the flight experience suitable for a wide range of people, from families to couples, business travelers to students.
Prices vary depending on the aircraft or helicopter model chosen, the flight duration (typically between 15 and 90 minutes), and the region. You can see current prices and tour options in detail on each region's page, and quickly get a quote and book via WhatsApp. Flight coupons you purchase can also be used later on a date that suits you.
All of our flights are carried out with SHGM-registered aircraft and helicopters, backed by TÜRSAB-certified operations, with free weather-based rescheduling. Whether you're looking for an unforgettable gift for a birthday, anniversary, marriage proposal, or simply a special day for yourself, we can help you find the right flight experience option across Turkey's five regions via WhatsApp.
