Key takeaways
- The list: 11 distinct aircraft and airborne craft, including the Sea Sparrow on the cover and the Dodo over Vice Beach.
- The Dodo seaplane, private-jet scenes and an airliner-related action sequence make aircraft part of GTA 6’s story and skyline.
- A real Goodyear blimp wears Vice City branding for the launch campaign. The in-game tethered radar balloon is a separate aircraft.
- Vice City’s airport appears in the extended presentation, but player-controlled flight, flying cars and GTA 6 aircraft performance are not confirmed.

Every Helicopter Seen in GTA 6
The cover and the Mount Kalaga gallery offer two clear helicopter views, and they show very different machines.
Sea Sparrow
Look in the upper-left panel of the official cover. The compact cabin and pair of floats pick out the Sea Sparrow, in contrast to the skids on the helicopter over Mount Kalaga.
Maverick and other helicopters
Rockstar’s second Mount Kalaga image shows a red civilian Maverick flying over the forest. The Police Maverick has a different role and markings. Other helicopters visible in the footage include the Buzzard Attack Chopper, Swift and SuperVolito.
Police air support
Police aircraft such as the police Buzzard are also listed in the GTA 6 police and emergency vehicles guide.
Every Plane Seen in GTA 6
There are useful views of a floatplane, business jets and larger airliners.
Dodo seaplane
Around 0:15 in Trailer 1, a Dodo tows an advertising banner along Vice Beach. Following the towline back towards the plane is the easiest way to find it over the water.
Private jets
The Shamal and Luxor are the business jets in the list. The arrival at the airport in An Extended Look shows the scale of a jet beside the people on the ground.
Passenger jets
A twin-engine passenger jet crosses the Vice City sign in the first official city screenshot. The aircraft that Lucia clings to in Trailer 2 is a separate shot.
The GTA 6 Blimp
The most famous Vice City blimp is a real-world marketing airship. In October 2026, a Goodyear blimp carrying Vice City and GTA 6 branding was photographed flying toward and around South Florida.
The branded Goodyear airship links Rockstar’s fictional Vice City with the real Miami skyline.
GTA 6’s trailers contain another, very different airborne object: a tethered radar balloon over the Leonida Keys area, visually comparable to the real Tethered Aerostat Radar System used for surveillance.
GTA 5 included the controllable Atomic Blimp. Rockstar has not shown a flyable blimp in GTA 6 yet.
Is There an Airport in GTA 6?
Yes. Vice City International Airport appears in An Extended Look, where Jason and Lucia are involved in receiving Andrés de León as he arrives by private jet.
The airport sequence belongs to the Megamundo mission: an important visitor arrives on the tarmac, and Jason and Lucia become involved in his transport and protection. A road sign in Trailer 1 also refers to “VCI Airport”, offering a separate in-world clue to the location.
Rockstar has not said whether you can book flights, buy hangars or fly the airliners that land there. Access points, hangars and aircraft spawns are still unknown.
Can You Fly in GTA 6?
Aircraft fly through GTA 6’s official scenes, but Rockstar has not shown a player flying one yet. Here is what has been shown so far, and what has not.
| Shown in official material | Not shown yet |
|---|---|
| Helicopters flying in Leonida and an armed helicopter on the cover art | That the player can pilot or arm the exact helicopter variants pictured |
| Dodo towing a banner over a beach | That the Dodo can be flown or stored by the player |
| A private jet arriving at the Vice City airport | Purchasable hangars or player-controlled airport departures |
| Lucia’s action scene involving a passenger jet | That the named Jet model or every GTA 5 airliner returns |
| A tethered radar balloon in a trailer | A flyable GTA 6 blimp |
| Planes and rotorcraft in the game world | Flying cars, flying bikes or controllable fighter jets |
That does not mean flying is missing. Rockstar simply has not shown the controls or the full list of aircraft you can pilot yet.
