The Qatar Goodwood Festival

Still known by many as Glorious Goodwood, the Qatar Goodwood Festival is the pinnacle of the UK flat racing season with top trainers and jockeys battling it out in prestigious races such as The Stewards’ Cup.

For those looking to arrive in style Goodwood Heliport lies within the teardrop section of the track. After landing a courtesy car will transport you to the main racecourse complex with its views over the rolling South Downs and to the sea looking south.

Landing slots are limited and are allocated on a first come first served basis, so booking early will give you a greater choice of times.

Please be sure to give an indication of where you would like to be picked up from so we can suggest an appropriate landing site for the helicopter.

Helicopter Charters - Things to Note


To fully understand our helicopter charter offering we encourage you to read the details below.

Passenger Health
There are no special health requirements to fly in a helicopter. If your doctor would say you are fit enough to fly on a regular commercial airliner then you're fine to fly with us.
Disabilities
Please inform us of any passenger disabilities so can ensure they are taken into account when planning the charter. Please note that we are unable to carry wheel chairs in most helicopters.
Weight Restrictions
All helicopter have a maximum take off weight which must not be exceeded. To ensure this limit is not exceeded we will need accurate weights of each individual and also any baggage to be carried. Please let us have this info as soon as possible as it can have an effect on the helicopter / crew required.
Weather
Our helicopter charters are subject to the weather conditions. Low cloud, poor visibility or high winds can cause flights to be postponed or cancelled. Should there be doubts over the weather we will contact you as far in advance as possible to allow alternate transport plans to be put in place. But in all cases you need to have a plan B.
Baggage
Most helicopter have limited stowage for hand luggage and larger baggage. If you are planning to carry baggage it is worth confirming that it can be accommodated in the aircraft before you make a booking.
Cancellations
Should your helicopter charter be cancelled you will receive a refund. This would normally be the full amount, but might be subject to some deductions if non-refundable deposits (such as landing slot allocations) have been paid to other parties to arrange the charter or if legs of the charter have been previously flown.
