Hoverfly

Since 2009, Hoverfly Srl has developed a distinctive presence in Italian private aviation, providing executive helicopter transportation shaped around flexibility, direct operational expertise, and personalized service. Headquartered in Pescara, Italy, the company serves leisure and business travelers seeking efficient connections across Italy and neighboring countries.

Founded by Saturnino De Cecco, Hoverfly operates through strategic bases including Salerno, Naples, and Milan-Bresso. Its team coordinates tailor-made helicopter transfers for national and international journeys, managing each request through dedicated sales and operations departments working closely with the technical office and experienced flight crews.

A key strength of Hoverfly is its position as a direct helicopter operator rather than a broker. This structure gives the company greater oversight of the passenger experience, from the first inquiry and flight planning to operational coordination and post-flight assistance. Support is available around the clock, allowing the team to respond to complex itineraries and changing travel requirements.

Hoverfly maintains a varied fleet with VIP configurations suited to executive and private transportation. Its ongoing investment in aircraft capabilities includes the use of twin-engine helicopters on short routes and helicopters powered by Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The company is also preparing to welcome a new Airbus H130, with delivery expected by December 2026, expanding its capabilities with a next-generation single-engine helicopter designed for premium passenger transport.

Beyond helicopter operations, Hoverfly provides access to a broader range of aviation services. The company acts as a fixed-wing aircraft broker, connecting passengers with destinations worldwide, while its Flight Academy supports aviation training. Hoverfly also provides Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services and holds the distinction of being a Leonardo Approved Supplier.

In 2026, Hoverfly Srl was named Best Luxury Helicopter Service in Italy by Luxury Lifestyle Awards, recognizing its established role in the country’s executive aviation sector. The award highlights a company that continues to strengthen its operational capabilities while maintaining the personal attention and adaptability expected within private air travel.
