Helicopterdays' Third Anniversary
We cannot believe that another year has passed since Atlas Helicopters purchased the 'Helicopterdays' brand in September of 2008. Since introducing this 'London Helicopter Tour' specialist website into the Atlas Helicopters Group, it has gone from strength to strength almost completely ignoring the recession we are currently in!
Having just completed our 3rd year of tours from both Damyn's Hall Airfield near Romford, Fairoaks Airport near Woking and Redhill Aerodrome near Crawleym, we have had the pleasure of flying over 2200 passengers. There have been some fascinating passengers along the way with many fantastic stories:-
A lady's 90th birthday. It had been her life-long ambition to fly in a helicopter, although she had flown scheduled fixed-wing before; A lady's 80th birthday gift was a surprise helicopter flight over London.......it was the first time she had ever flown;
There have been seven wedding proposals onboard our London Tours this year ( each said 'yes' ).
One gentleman had never flown but his wife had surprised him with a holiday to Spain. To get over his fear of flying, he booked a London Helicopter Tour with us................He was amazed and I presume enjoyed his holiday flight to Spain!!
With Christmas only 3 months why not give your loved ones or those valued to you at work the gift of flight?
Whether it is for the realization of a dream, to see enchanting landmarks from a birds-eye perspective or a unique gift for someone who has everything – London helicopter flights from Helicopterdays is the ultimate Christmas Gift.
The renowned London Helicopter Tour takes in the incredible panoramic views of the iconic London skyline, taking in Canary Wharf, the Millennium Dome (o2 Arena), Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast, the London Eye, St Paul's Cathedral, the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace, to name but a few sites along the way.
Chief Executive and pilot at Atlas, Mike Burns, said, "The views over London are breathtaking on all of our tours, and we pride ourselves on offering our customers an unforgettable experience."
HAPPY FLYING!
Helicopter Days - you'll be amazed
When it comes to unforgettable experiences, a ride in a helicopter has to rate pretty high on the list. To combine this with the aerial views of London just adds that extra WOW factor to your experience. Flying along the Thames at over 100mph and at 1500 feet gives you a unique perspective of our capital city.
Flying from a choice of three operating locations:- Redhill Aerodrome, junction 8 of the M25, Damyn's Hall Airfield in East London and Fairoaks Airport, Chobham, we are ideally situated for easy access in and out of the London Heathrow control zone, thus maximising your helicopter flight time over the City. Be it a gift, treat or surprise, we're able to provide vouchers to suit any occasion.
Something else in mind? We're happy for you to create your own personal charter day with our pilots taking you wherever you want to go. For sporting occasions, events, or just for getting from A to B in style, please get in touch and we'll see how we can help.
About us
As you might have guessed already, we're a touch different to the usual ‘experience days’ operators. We’re not an agency that takes your money and then books the day with another helicopter company. We take the booking, we provide the pilots, we utilize our own fleet and we do the flying.
As such, you’ve got the reassurance that any experience you book through Helicopter Days will be taken with a company that's got over 10 years of experience in the field.
Sorry!
Due to restricted air space for the Olympics this summer we will not be flying our London Helicopter Tours between 14th July and 12th September 2012.
Important Note!
As of the 31st December 2011 Damyn's Hall Aerodrome in East London has suspended all future London Helicopter Tour Activity. All London Helicopter Tours will now take place from Redhill Aerodrome in Surrey.
Apologies for any inconvenience but this is outside of our control.
