From the landing site to the ground

Getting from the helicopter to Villa Park

Birmingham is under 50 minutes from Battersea by helicopter, so a same-day trip works well for most kick-offs. Birmingham Airport is on the east side of the city, and the drive across to Aston is the part to plan around, especially at the Friday and Saturday peaks.

  • Birmingham Airport is the nearest main airport we can name for Villa Park, and we agree the arrival with its private aviation team
  • Football grounds are built into streets and car parks and are not approved helicopter sites, so we do not plan a landing at Villa Park itself
  • The last stretch is a car: about 25 to 30 minutes by car
  • Tell us where in Birmingham you want to be dropped off and picked up, and we time the car to the helicopter

Match day timing

Planning the day from Battersea

A match day in Birmingham by helicopter is planned backwards from the heliport’s closing time and forwards from the kick-off.

  • The flight is about 45 minutes in the air, worked out at 140 mph over the straight-line 100 miles from the London Heliport
  • Allow about 40 minutes from the final whistle at Villa Park to take-off: the walk, the car and boarding
  • For a same-day return from Villa Park the latest kick-off is about 19:15, so that you land back at Battersea by 22:55
  • Evening and weekend returns from Birmingham after the normal hours need the heliport to agree an extension, so tell us the fixture early

Before you fly

What to know before flying to Villa Park

Where we land

We agree the landing site near Birmingham with you when you book, and ask the site for permission. Every landing is subject to permission and site suitability, and we always agree a plan B.

Luggage and weights

Soft-sided bags fit a helicopter hold better than hard suitcases, which matters on a flight to Birmingham. Tell us how many bags you have, and each passenger’s weight, when you book, and we will confirm that everything fits.

Weather

Helicopters fly in suitable weather only, so the forecast for Birmingham matters. If your flight to Birmingham is cancelled because of the weather, you pay nothing, and we will work with you on the earliest alternative. Check conditions on our Battersea Heliport weather page. See also helicopter charter and the weather.

Timing and booking ahead

Arrive at the London Heliport 10 minutes before departure. For Birmingham match days, book as early as you can for big fixtures, and earlier for groups or larger helicopters. Tell us the fixture, not just the date, because kick-off times move.

A car at the other end

Our partner Executive Global Travel can meet you with a chauffeur car for the last stretch to Villa Park, and wait for the final whistle, timed to the helicopter.

Questions

Helicopter charter to Villa Park: your questions answered

Still unsure? Call +44 20 7781 8094 any time.

How long does a helicopter from London to Villa Park take?

About 45 minutes in the air, for the 100 miles in a straight line from the London Heliport at Battersea to Birmingham, worked out at 140 mph in an Agusta 109. Wind, routing, air traffic and a fuel stop on the longer flights change that, and you also need time for the car at the other end.

Can a helicopter land at Villa Park?

No. Villa Park sits among streets, car parks and stands and are not approved helicopter sites, so we do not plan a landing there. We land at an airfield or a site we have confirmed, and a car takes you to the ground. Birmingham Airport is the nearest main airport we can name.

Can I fly home the same night after the match?

Sometimes. The London Heliport takes its last landing at 22:55 and no flights are allowed between 23:00 and 07:00. With the flight home taking about 45 minutes and about 40 minutes from the final whistle to take-off, the latest kick-off that works for a same-night return is about 19:15. For a later kick-off we plan an overnight stay and an early flight the next morning. See the heliport opening hours.

Do you sell match tickets or hospitality?

No. We fly you to Birmingham and arrange the car. Tickets and hospitality come from the club or an official agent, and you send us the fixture, the kick-off time and the number of people when you book the flight.

How much is a helicopter to Villa Park?

There is no single price for Birmingham, because it changes with the helicopter, the date, how many of you fly, how long the helicopter waits and the landing fees. A return for a match day is priced differently from a one-way flight. Tell us the fixture and we send one clear price, any time of day or night. Our helicopter hire prices page shows what other routes cost.

How many people can fly?

The Agusta 109 Grand carries up to 6 passengers, the AS355 up to 5 and the H145 up to 8. For a larger group flying to Birmingham we can use more than one helicopter.

What if the kick-off time changes for television?

Tell us as soon as the club announces a change to the Birmingham fixture. We move your flight where the heliport hours, the landing site and the crew allow, and we say plainly if the new time rules out a same-day return.

What happens if the weather is bad?

If your flight to Birmingham is cancelled because of the weather, you pay nothing, and we work with you on the earliest alternative. See helicopter charter and the weather.
