Where we land

Landings for race day are coordinated with approved landing sites near the racecourse. You are met on arrival and guided to your transport, hospitality or event location. We confirm the exact site with you when you book.

Helicopters fly in suitable weather only. If the flight 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.

Timing and booking ahead

Arrive at the London Heliport 10 minutes before departure. Book at least 4 to 6 weeks ahead for race weeks, and earlier for groups or larger helicopters.
