Briefing

What we plan around at HER.

Local constraints we build into every delivery window — curfew, customs, slots, transit, and ramp access.

01

Elounda onward.

The luxury resorts and villas around Elounda/Agios Nikolaos — road or helicopter; we provision the jet leg and the onward.

02

Summer slots.

Crete fills in summer — book ahead; Chania (CHQ) is the western alternative.

03

Schengen.

Intra-Schengen domestic-like; customs only for non-Schengen.

04

Heat packing.

Aegean summer heat — careful cold-chain.

05

Confirm handler.

Delivery starts with the tail's FBO.
