The Indianapolis Motor Speedway has some gate regulations. View an updated list here.
As the world’s largest single day sporting event, there are numerous rules and regulations we must follow to make your charter into the event as smooth as possible. One part of those regulations is providing a passenger manifest to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
Required information for all passengers is the first and last name, city, state, date of birth, gender as it appears on your official ID, and weight. Citizens of the United States will need to confirm their information by checking the box marked US Citizen and if you have a Passport, TSA Pre-Check, or Global Entry number please enter it where indicated. This will help TSA clear you more quickly. If your country of origin is other than the United States, we will need to know your country of origin and a valid passport number.
If none of these are available, please contact us for more information or other options.
Due to increased security at this year’s Indianapolis 500, TSA is requiring that we submit all passenger information to them for security clearance NO LATER than May 15, 2026. Therefore, we cannot accept any changes or substitutions to the passenger list after 5PM EDT on May 15, 2026. You may cancel your reservation before May 15 without incurring a cancellation fee. However, since we will be unable to sell a canceled seat to another guest any cancellations made after May 15, 2026, will incur a 50% cancellation fee. We regret any inconvenience caused by this change in TSA procedures.
Please remember that the timing of your departure flight from the Indy 500 helipad is solely based on a first-come, first-served basis. Moving over 500 passengers at the same time will cause delays in your departure time. Realizing that your time is important, Sweet Helicopters has allocated additional aircraft and flight crews on race day but this is NOT a guarantee there won’t be some delays from the Indy 500 helipad back to your gateway airport or heliport. Our recommendation is to arrive at the helipad sometime before the race has officially ended in order to minimize your delay. Thank you for flying with Sweet Helicopters, the official helicopter charter service for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and more importantly, thank you for your understanding and patience.
During peak usage times, the reservation server may slow down or become unresponsive. Please be patient, and the server will respond when the load decreases. Do not click back or close the reservation window. You will lose your reservation.
