HELICOPTER CHARTER

LONDON TO CHELTENHAM

Our client required a helicopter from London to Cheltenham for the Gold Cup. Helicopter requirements for the Cheltenham races are one of the busiest weeks for Cheltenham helicopter hire, and a popular departure point is Battersea Heliport. Our client made the enquiry and booking for the helicopter in December (three months before the event). They always book early because of the limited availability of helicopter choices and because they can get the times they want.

HELICOPTER CHELTENHAM

This client wanted to arrive in style, so the AW139 was the helicopter to give them the wow factor.

  • Date:  10th March 2025
  • Route: Battersea, London @ 10.30 to Cheltenham Racecourse
  • Return: Cheltenham Racecourse @ 18.00 to Battersea, London
  • Helicopter Type: AW139
  • Passengers: 7

For your information, due to the time of year the Cheltenham Festival takes place, you will always require a twin-engine IFR helicopter if you wish to return after the last race. This is due to sunset hours, as no single-engine helicopter can fly you after sunset.

Cheltenham Festival 2027: Tuesday 16 to Friday 19 March

The Cheltenham Festival 2027 runs from Tuesday 16 to Friday 19 March 2027, with the Cheltenham Gold Cup on the final day, Friday 19 March. Helicopters and landing slots for Festival week are limited, and the client in the example above booked in December, three months ahead, so now is the time to ask about March 2027.
