THE BENEFITS OF HELICOPTER CHARTERS
Helicopter charters offer a level of flexibility not commonly found with fixed wing aircraft, with the most notable advantage of point-to-point travel.
Intelligently designed and highly adaptable to address a range of individual requirements, their capabilities allow access to remote areas and city centres, with the ability to land at helipads, hotels and even private properties, where space allows, making them one of the most flexible and suitable aircraft types for travel to remote, crowded or otherwise difficult to reach destinations.
The versatility of helicopters means that they can be used for business purposes or for transfers from airports to ski resorts, yachts, events or sports stadiums.

HOW DOES THE HELICOPTER CHARTER PROCESS WORK?
After your initial enquiry you will be assigned a personal charter expert who will send you a selection of quotes for you to choose from.

Should you wish to go ahead they will then book the aircraft and send you all the flight details including directions to the terminal and any other important information.

WHERE CAN HELICOPTERS LAND / TAKE OFF?
Helicopter charters offer a level of flexibility not commonly found with fixed wing aircraft. Their capabilities allow access to remote areas and city centres, with the ability to land at helipads, hotels and even private properties, where space allows, making them one of the most flexible and suitable aircraft types for travel to remote, crowded or otherwise difficult to reach destinations. There are certain factors that need to be taken into consideration however, such as whether there's an over-water approach or the time of day at which you wish to land or take off. In some cases, a site study may be required to determine whether a specific location for landing or take off can be approved. Our helicopter charter experts will be able to discuss all of these aspects with you.
HOW MUCH LUGGAGE CAN I TAKE WITH ME ON A HELICOPTER?
You will be told how much the hold can take on your chosen aircraft and can upgrade if you feel more space is needed. It very much depends on the aircraft capacity and number of passengers involved in the helicopter charter. As a private passenger however, you will have all of the luggage capacity at your disposal.
HOW MANY PASSENGERS IS A HELICOPTER CHARTER IDEAL FOR?
Depending on the type of helicopter you charter, anywhere between 1 - 19 passengers. View our aircraft guide for further information.
