Arriving in Style

Take to the skies for fast and stress-free travel across Cornwall and beyond.

Castle Air was founded by Roy Flood in 1979 at a time when there were no helicopter charter businesses in the South West. Fast forward to today and not only is Castle Air the biggest seller of Leonardo helicopters in Europe, if not the world, its growth has seen it become the largest VIP charter business in the UK for helicopters, and one of the biggest in Europe. 

 Helicopter owners arriving by private aircraft can benefit from the interline service available at their Biggin Hill Airport base as Managing Director, Ross Bunyard explains: “We can have a helicopter waiting there to take them on to their final destination – I refer to them as time machines! If you’re a busy businessperson, you can get around the UK very quickly by air. A trip that might take you a week by car or train, you can do in a day. Helicopters help companies grow, because they give you back that valuable commodity of time.

“We are hugely busy in London, interlining into Battersea heliport, which is the only one of its kind at the heart of the city and can fly clients across Europe. From Biggin Hill it’s just a 50-minute flight to Paris. The large twin-engine aircraft we deal with offer an enclosed VIP cabin space, and the AW109 can comfortably seat six passengers. They are very stable, so you can work from the back or simply sip a glass of champagne and enjoy the aerial view!”

Offering an end-to-end service, clients simply need to ring Castle Air, tell them their requirements and then the experienced team can organise the whole trip. “We can arrange for a car to collect clients or, if their garden or land is large enough, one of our pilots will fly the helicopter to them,” Ross continues. “At the end of their flight we will have private cars waiting to take them to their final destination. If you don’t own a helicopter you can benefit from Castle Air’s charter service, which we run to all the major sporting events in the UK – including the upcoming horse racing events at Cheltenham, Aintree and Epsom – and we even have our own VIP suites at the Formula One at Silverstone.”

DID YOU KNOW?

Castle Air is the main engineering aviation supporters to Cornwall Air Ambulance. Their helicopter operates under Castle Air’s approvals. Cornwall Air Ambulance is currently fundraising for another lifesaving helicopter, a new AW169, which will enable them to deliver more missions, advanced care and, in turn, help them save even more lives.
