CHARTER A HELICOPTER
CHARTER A HELICOPTER
The Advantages of Private Helicopter Charter
Unlike fixed-wing jets, which are restricted to established airport runways, helicopters offer the unique advantage of direct point-to-point transportation. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for accessing remote or private destinations that are inaccessible by road, such as rural estates, mountainous regions, offshore platforms, or yachts at sea. By flying directly to your final destination, you bypass the delays associated with congested road networks and lengthy ground transfers.
Choosing to book a private charter provides total control over your schedule. You depart and arrive entirely at your convenience, removing the rigid time constraints and terminal delays of commercial travel.
Executive Helicopters for up to 5 Passengers For smaller groups or swift city transfers, we offer a range of versatile aircraft including the Agusta 109, the Eurocopter H135 and H145, the Bell 429, and the AS355 Twin Squirrel. These models are ideal for efficient travel and landing in confined spaces.
Large Cabin Helicopters for up to 9 Passengers For larger parties or longer distances, our fleet includes spacious twin-engine helicopters such as the Sikorsky 76, the AS365, and the Agusta AW139 or AW169. The Eurocopter EC155 also offers a premium experience with increased cabin volume and comfort.
A Unique Aerial Perspective
The journey itself is an integral part of the experience. Only a helicopter offers such expansive, panoramic views of the landscape, allowing you to fully appreciate the scale of coastlines, mountain ranges, and city skylines. The unique ability to hover allows for a more intimate observation of specific landmarks and natural wonders, turning a simple transfer into a remarkable sightseeing opportunity.
Seamless Connectivity: Private Jet and Helicopter Integration
A significant number of our clients choose to combine the range of a private jet with the precision of a helicopter charter. This integrated approach allows you to arrive at a major airport via jet and immediately board a helicopter for a direct transfer to your final destination. Whether you are heading to a secluded hotel, a championship golf course, or a private estate, this transition ensures your journey remains uninterrupted by ground traffic.
We have extensive experience coordinating arrivals for world-class fixtures, including the Monaco Grand Prix, Wimbledon, and the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Our team frequently manages transfers to the Glastonbury Music Festival and Royal Ascot, as well as the perennially popular shuttle from Nice Côte d’Azur to Monaco.
Versatile Solutions for Business and Leisure
Helicopter charter offers a versatile solution for a wide range of requirements beyond simple transport. We facilitate aerial filming and photography, corporate entertaining, and rapid business travel, alongside more specialised missions such as emergency medical evacuations and site surveys. For those celebrating a milestone, a helicopter provides an unforgettable arrival for weddings or bespoke city tours.
To further streamline your travel, Oxygen Aviation can coordinate private chauffeured vehicles to collect you from your home and transport you directly to your aircraft. Upon landing, a secondary car will be waiting to take you to your final meeting or hotel, ensuring every minute of your day is used productively.
The VIP Cabin Experience
The interiors of our charter helicopters are designed to mirror the luxury and sophistication of a high-end private jet. Passengers can expect a refined, lounge-like atmosphere featuring plush leather seating, fine wood veneers, and premium fabrics. These cabins are engineered for comfort, often featuring advanced climate control systems and integrated entertainment options to ensure a serene environment regardless of the external conditions. Every detail is meticulously curated to meet the discerning standards of our high-profile clients, providing a travel experience that is as comfortable as it is efficient.
