Helicopter Charter
Instant concierge, no brokers. We arrange helicopter transfers across the UK through NorthPoint Aviation — events, transfers, island access, and anywhere a jet can't land.
Land on the estate at Goodwood. Arrive trackside at Silverstone. Access venues without traffic — helicopter transfers are 10× faster than road for many UK event venues.
Isle of Wight, Jersey, Isles of Scilly — all accessible by helicopter when a jet isn't practical. Some Scottish islands are helicopter-only.
Short grass strips, mountain venues, helipads on superyachts or estates. Helicopters reach locations that fixed-wing aircraft simply can't.
London to any UK city in under an hour. Helipad-to-helipad transfers avoid ground congestion entirely. Popular for same-day business trips.
Helicopter operators often have more flexibility for short-notice bookings than jet operators. Same-day availability is possible in many cases.
For hops under 150nm, a helicopter can be more cost-effective than a light jet, particularly when ground transfers are factored in.
