Our helicopter Q&A
In order to be able to provide you with an accurate offer, we need the following information from you: Freight dimensions, freight weight, pick-up time, pick-up location and delivery location and time.
Of course! We'll take care of everything. We collect your freight directly from your chosen location (Subject to landing conditions and authorisation) if not we are able to organise to collect your goods and get them to our HQ and organise the handling and reloading into our helicopter.
In addition to our helicopter, we can of course also book a fixed wing Transportation tailored to your freight. We will find the right aircraft for your needs.
We have a general landing permit, which allows us to land almost anywhere with the land owner's consent. Of course there are restrictions and requirements for the landing field. We will coordinate these with you. A landing on your factory/company premises can thus usually take place without any problems. If it is not possible to land directly with you, we always look for the nearest suitable landing site. We also take care of ground transportation to the final destination.
You can reach us 24hrs a day our Air Cargo emergency number: 01303 233500 or 07977 465971.
You can reach us 24/7 365 days a year.
Our AS355 is IFR and night flight certified. Therefore, we can also deliver your freight at night.
After full written confirmation and arrival of your freight, it will normally take us about 45 minutes to get the helicopter on its way to you.
In the case of air transport, the lead time depends on the location of the aircraft. Our team will inform you about the exact lead time and flight time in advance.
Usually the aircraft will be able to take off and cover a distance of 450kms, if we have to go further our staff will be able to advise the extra time required to refuel.
Depending on the wind direction, approximately 600 to 650kms.
Of course.
We will be in the air for you within 45 minutes from receiving your written confirmation and payment.
