Helicopters available
from London Heliport.
Operating from London’s central heliport, our helicopter fleet is centred around advanced twin-engine aircraft. This choice not only emphasises safety but also enhances performance and operational flexibility. Moreover, twin-engine helicopters are particularly well-suited to urban environments like Battersea. Consequently, they offer enhanced reliability and the ability to continue flight safely in the unlikely event of an engine failure. Furthermore, this capability is complemented by our certification for operations in complex city airspace. Allowing greater routing flexibility across London and beyond.
From executive transfers to international flights, aircraft such as the EC135, AW109, H145 and AS355 provide refined cabin comfort, all-weather capability, and efficient access to destinations across the UK and Europe, making twin-engine helicopter charter the preferred choice for business-critical and luxury travel from Battersea.
Our fleet
London helicopter fleet for UK charter
Four twin-engine helicopters, from 5 to 8 passengers.
or call +44 20 7781 8094
Our helicopters are based at points around London, close enough to reach The London Heliport quickly, but none of them is kept at the heliport itself. Whichever one you pick, you charter it for the whole flight and it is yours alone.
The main fleet starts with the five-seat AS355 Twin Squirrel and the six-seat Agusta 109 Grand, and goes up to the eight-seat Airbus H145 D3 and the Leonardo AW139, our VIP flagship. All four are twin-engine, every aircraft we charter holds a full UK Civil Aviation Authority AOC, and each one is fully insured.
Not sure which one suits your party? Call us on +44 20 7781 8094 or email us with the number of passengers, the luggage and the route, and we will point you to the right helicopter.

Leonardo AW139: our VIP flagship
This is the biggest helicopter we charter. The cabin is the roomiest in our fleet, the seats are cream leather, the trim is polished wood, and you step in by a fold-down airstair. There is one layout only, eight seats in the VIP configuration, and two pilots fly every trip.
It can land at private estates and country houses where the site and the landowner allow it. We only have a limited number of slots, so ask early.
- Cruise about 165 kt
- Range about 570 nm
- Two pilots as standard
8 seats · twin engine
Airbus H145 D3 for bigger parties
Eight seats in an enclosed twin-engine cabin, with night capability and the ability to fly in most weather conditions. It is the business choice when the party is large, and overseas clients ask for it by name.
- Cruise about 130 kt
- Range about 351 nm
- Night operations
6 seats · twin engine
Agusta 109 Grand for speed

5 seats · twin engine
AS355 Twin Squirrel for everyday trips

Also available
More from our fleet
A twin-engine helicopter with an enclosed cabin and day and night capability. Five passengers sit in the rear and one in front, and there is good room for luggage.
See the Eurocopter EC130 helicopter hire page for a single-engine option that carries up to 6 passengers with luggage.
How many passengers can each helicopter carry?
The AS355 Twin Squirrel seats 5, the Agusta 109 Grand seats 6 and the Airbus H145 D3 seats 8. The Leonardo AW139 also seats 8, in a single VIP layout.
Are all your helicopters twin-engine?
Yes. The four helicopters in our main fleet (the AS355 Twin Squirrel, Agusta 109 Grand, Airbus H145 D3 and Leonardo AW139) all have two engines. If you would rather have a single-engine helicopter, the Eurocopter EC130 takes up to 6 passengers with luggage. Our guide to twin-engine versus single-engine helicopters explains the difference.
Which of your helicopters is the quickest?
The Leonardo AW139 cruises at about 165 knots, with the Agusta 109 Grand next at about 155 knots. Real flight times depend on the load, the weather and the route.
Do the helicopters wait at Battersea?
No. They are based at points around London, close enough to reach The London Heliport quickly, and none is kept at the heliport itself.
Can I book the AW139 for a trip from Battersea?
Yes, though availability is limited, so give us the date as early as you can. We will tell you whether the AW139 is free or whether the Airbus H145 D3 or Agusta 109 Grand will suit your party just as well. Our AW139 page has the details.
What happens if the weather is bad?
If the flight is cancelled because of the weather, you pay nothing. For a look at conditions before you fly, use our Battersea Heliport weather page.
