Helicopter charter to Newcastle takes you between central London and the North East in about 1 hour 40 minutes. Road journeys between the two can be long and unpredictable, but a helicopter flies the direct line from the London Heliport in Battersea. As a result, you arrive rested and on time.
Why choose helicopter charter to Newcastle
Newcastle International Airport is the principal aviation hub for the North East of England. Its official website describes a dedicated private jet facility, separate from the main terminal, so guests can step from a jet to a helicopter. As a result, executives, VIPs and event guests all use it.
You can fly straight from the airport or from an approved private site, then continue to estates, sporting events and business hubs across the North East, Cumbria and Scotland. Our twin-engine helicopters carry up to eight passengers, and most take a small suitcase or soft bag for each person.
