# Helicopter Charter

> Charter a helicopter in the UK. Airport transfers, city hops, aerial tours, event arrivals. Airbus H145, AW139 & more. No runway needed - land almost anywhere.

Helicopters go where fixed-wing aircraft cannot. From VIP airport transfers and city-centre connections to event arrivals, aerial tours, and access to remote locations - helicopter charter offers unmatched flexibility and time savings.

## Why Choose Helicopter Charter?

Helicopters eliminate the constraints of runways and airports. Land at your office, your hotel, a country estate, or directly at an event venue. What might be a 2-hour drive from the airport becomes a 15-minute helicopter flight.

For time-sensitive travel, helicopters are unbeatable. Connect central London to any UK destination without fighting traffic, or transfer between airports faster than any ground transport.

## Frequently asked questions

### How much does helicopter charter cost in the UK?

Contact us for a specific quote based on your route and requirements.

### Can a helicopter land at my property?

Possibly. Helicopters can land on suitable private land with the landowner's permission and appropriate safety clearances. We'll assess your site, check for any airspace restrictions, and handle all necessary permissions and notifications.

### How many passengers can a helicopter carry?

Helicopter capacity ranges from 2 passengers in smaller models to 12+ in large twin-engine aircraft like the AW139 or H160. For VIP transfers, we typically recommend aircraft carrying 4-6 passengers for maximum comfort.

### Can helicopters fly in bad weather?

Twin-engine helicopters equipped with IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) capability can fly in most weather conditions, including low cloud and reduced visibility. However, extreme weather such as heavy fog, ice, or severe storms may require postponement for safety. We always prioritise passenger safety over schedule.

### Do you arrange helicopter airport transfers?

Yes, this is one of our most popular helicopter services. We connect central London heliports (Battersea, Excel) to all major airports including Farnborough, Luton, Stansted, Gatwick, Northolt, and more. Transfer times are typically 10-25 minutes.
