Helicopter transfers to Farnborough link central London with a busy business aviation airport in about 15 to 20 minutes. By road the same journey can take up to an hour and a half at peak times. A helicopter flies over the queues, so you reach your jet, or the city, with time to spare.
Why choose helicopter transfers to Farnborough
Farnborough Airport lies in the south-west of London, and it describes itself as the UK’s largest business aviation airport. It is one of the most popular airports for private jets visiting London. As a result, many travellers connect from a jet to a helicopter for the last leg into the city.
A helicopter also helps when an owner’s jet is out of position, because you can reach another aircraft quickly. Our twin-engine helicopters carry up to eight passengers, and most take a small suitcase or soft bag for each person. We also fly from Battersea to nearby hotels, such as Four Seasons Hampshire.
