Sustainability
Flying With Respect for Bali
Seeing Bali from the air comes with a duty to protect it. These are the commitments that shape our routes, our team and our guest service.
Our Starting Point
Guided by Tri Hita Karana
Tri Hita Karana is the Balinese principle of harmony between people, nature and the spiritual world. It is the framework we use to judge how we operate on the island.
Aviation has an environmental cost, and we do not pretend otherwise. What we can do is fly considerately, hire and buy locally, and keep reviewing our practices.
In the Air
Considerate Flight Paths
How we plan routes so a flight over Bali disturbs as little as possible below.
-
Noise-aware routing
Flight paths avoid passing directly over homes, schools and hospitals wherever possible.
-
Respect for sacred sites
Pilots keep a respectful distance and altitude around major temples, especially during ceremonies.
-
Higher over sensitive areas
Greater altitude over noise-sensitive places such as town centres and wildlife areas.
Routes can change on the day for weather, air-traffic instructions or a ceremony below.
The view from above is a privilege. Protecting what we see is part of the price.

Is a helicopter tour sustainable?
No flight is impact-free. We reduce what we can — considerate routes, plastic-free service, local hiring — and are open about the limits of what aviation can claim.
Do you fly over temples?
We keep a respectful distance and altitude around major temples such as Uluwatu and Tanah Lot, and adjust routes during ceremonies.
How do you reduce noise?
Routes avoid passing directly over homes, schools and hospitals where possible, with higher altitudes over noise-sensitive areas.
How can I travel more responsibly on my flight day?
Choose the flight length that covers what you want to see, bring a reusable bottle, and dress respectfully if you visit temples afterwards.
