There are no fixed times for tours. Only on order. The calendar therefore does not show all flights that go, but only those that are waiting to be filled up to 5 passengers.
If you are less than 5 people, your order will be placed on the calendar with an indication of how many seats have been booked and how many are available.
Others can then sign up so that the flight request is sent to a helicopter company.
If you find a flight on the calendar that you are interested in, you can sign up to help fill up the helicopter.
