Helicopter Charter
& London Sightseeing

AIRPORT TRANSFERS

Private jets are becoming an important tool in today’s busy lifestyle, saving an awful lot of wasted time on the roads, railways or checking-in at airport terminals. Unfortunately, these jets require long concrete runways, which often leave the passengers back on the road or rail networks to complete their journeys.

Excel Helicopters’s fleet of twin-engine helicopters, together with full-time pilots enable us to offer the onward helicopter transfer. We can meet the passengers on the apron as they disembark from their jet and then take them to either The London Heliport, at Battersea, another airport, or on to the customer’s final destination.

Farnborough, London Luton, RAF Northolt and Biggin Hill all handle private jet traffic into London, yet offer no convenient access into the City. With a transit time of between 10 to 20 minutes, a helicopter transfer is a quick alternative to sitting in traffic.

EVENT TRANSFERS

There is nothing like sitting in a traffic jam for hours waiting to get in or out of an event to take the gloss off an occasion. If you are attending an event as a participant, a corporate hospitality guest or as a spectator, arriving by helicopter makes the occasion even more special with the added bonus of avoiding the traffic congestion on arrival and especially on departure when everyone is trying to leave at once.

Excel Helicopters offer flights to motor racing, horse racing, polo, music and sailing events throughout the season. For many of the larger events, such as the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, or for Royal Ascot, we offer a shuttle service from a designated site, and for all of the events we offer a bespoke charter service.

Horse Racing

Avoid traffic and chaos, book a helicopter charter directly to the racecourse

Motor Racing

Join us for the thrill of a helicopter flight to a race circuit & arrive with timing to suit you.

Other Events

Arrive in style whether it’s for Golf, Polo, Regatta or simply a fantastic day out.

Fine Dining

Whether it is business, pleasure, or for that special occasion, Excel Helicopters has the answer. ‘Heli-Dining’ is a service offered to private individuals and business persons alike, whereby a complete new dining experience can be enjoyed. Excel Helicopters will transport you and your guests to and from any of the restaurants below for £1,700 (plus VAT), based on a maximum of five people sharing the aircraft and departing from and returning to Stapleford Aerodrome (RM4 1SJ).

Excel Helicopters offers the option of departing either from Stapleford Aerodrome or a private site of your choice (subject to the site being approved for helicopter operations). A London sightseeing tour can also be included at an additional charge. Overnight returns can also be arranged

All of the above hotels are within 30-minutes flying time from our main base. The helicopter used would be a twin-engine Squirrel (AS355) which will wait with you whilst you enjoy your meal.

Other requests, whether it be an overnight or weekend stay, a restaurant or hotel further afield, or collection from your property can all be arranged.

Some hotels charge landing fees, which are not included

PRIVATE HIRE

From short pleasure flights to large corporate events, Excel Charter have the range of helicopters and knowledge to cater for your requirements. We attend most social and sporting events during the Summer calendar.

Hire a helicopter for the Cheltenham Festival, Royal Ascot or The British Grand Prix, or buy a seat on a helicopter shuttle we operate into these events. We can also offer helicopter charter flights over London and helicopter hire for weddings, corporate events and sightseeing tours.

BUSINESS CHARTER

Excel Helicopters offers a safe, cost-effective and highly convenient point-to-point travel option.

We are all travelling further and more frequently, time spent in traffic is frustrating and unproductive; chartering a helicopter is less expensive per passenger mile than is imagined.

Excel Helicopters can arrange landing sites close to your departure and destination. With simple boarding procedures and uninterrupted straight-line flight you can arrive on time and stress-free. Helicopter charter flights can be arranged as single trips or several flights enabling two or three meetings across the country whilst still returning home in the evening. Our experienced operations team can organise the helicopter charter to suit your itinerary.

in Just 10 minutes

Our base, just 10-minutes flying time from central London, enables us to price competitively for airport transfers and any London helicopter charter.

Most business jets arrive at Luton, Biggin Hill or Farnborough Airport, yet none of these airports have good onward road or rail links. With a helicopter transfer you can be met at the steps and taken into the London Heliport within 20-minutes.
