A cheaper option than direct connections from airports to the Aeolian Islands (average flight time between 40 and 65 minutes), but just as convenient and fast, is the private Car + Helicopter service. By choosing the Catania airport hub, our customers can book a MiniVan and private driver to our base in Giardini Naxos (35 minutes) and from there the helicopter to the Aeolian Islands (between 25 and 35 minutes depending on the island chosen). And vice versa. From Palermo airport, the minivan with private driver will take you to Capo d’Orlando (90 minutes) and from there by helicopter to the Aeolian Islands (between 20 and 30 minutes depending on the island chosen). And vice versa.
