Royal Ascot

Founded by Queen Anne in 1711 Ascot Racecourse is one of the longest established horse racing venues in the country. Initially it only hosted the Royal Meeting for 4 days once a year. Today it hosts 26 days throughout the year on both the flat and over jumps.

Helicopter transfers can be organised from a variety of locations and land at Ascot heliport which is set up exclusively for the Royal Ascot meeting on the golf course to the east of the venue. A courtesy car then transports you the short distance from Ascot Heliport to various drop-off points around the race course.

Helicopter movements in and out of Ascot heliport are controlled using a slot system. These are allocated by the heliport operators on a first come first served basis. If you have specific times you wish to fly in / out then early booking is advisable.

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.
Charter Operator
Our helicopter charters are operated on Air Operators Certificate GB2055.
