Corporate Helicopter Charter

Corporate helicopter charter is the ultimate time-saving tool for senior executives. A 45-minute drive from central London to Farnborough becomes a 12-minute flight. Manchester to Leeds in 20 minutes. The value isn't luxury — it's time reclaimed.

Why Businesses Use Helicopter Charter

• Time efficiency: Skip road traffic entirely. London to Birmingham in under 45 minutes
• Multiple meetings: Visit 3 sites in different cities in a single day
• Discretion: Private heliports, no public terminals, confidential travel
• Flexibility: Book with 24–48 hours' notice; change routes mid-day if meetings run over
• Impress clients: Helicopter transport to a site visit or corporate event makes an impact

Typical Corporate Routes & Pricing

• London Heliport → Farnborough: ~£1,200–£1,800 (single-engine), £2,200–£3,200 (twin-engine)
• London → Manchester: ~£4,000–£6,000 (twin-engine recommended for weather flexibility)
• London → Edinburgh: ~£8,000–£12,000 (fuel stop required; full-day charter)
• Regional multi-site day: ~£5,000–£8,000 for 3–4 stops across the Midlands/North

Aircraft for Corporate Travel

Twin-engine helicopters are strongly preferred for business travel:

• Agusta AW109: 5–6 passengers, 150+ mph cruise, executive interior. The "business jet of helicopters"
• Eurocopter EC135: 5–6 passengers, exceptionally quiet, popular for city operations
• Airbus H135 / H145: Modern avionics, spacious cabin, excellent safety record

Single-engine aircraft like the Robinson R66 can work for short, fair-weather hops but lack the speed, range, and weather capability of twins.

Corporate Account Structures

Most operators offer business account packages:

• Ad-hoc booking: Pay per flight, 24–48h notice
• Block hours: Pre-purchase 10–50 hours at a discounted rate (typically 10–15% off)
• Retainer: Fixed monthly fee for priority access and guaranteed availability

Heliports & Private Terminals

Key London-area heliports include Battersea Heliport (London Heliport), Redhill, and Farnborough. For regional travel, most major airports (Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh) have dedicated helicopter zones with private lounges and rapid ground transfer.
