Helicopter hire
Hire a helicopter and fly direct to where you need to be
Charter-A is an air charter broker. We arrange private helicopters across the UK for business and leisure, from airports and private landing sites. All flights are subject to weather and landing permission.
If the flight is cancelled because of the weather, you pay nothing.
The service
Tailored flights for a meeting, an event or a country trip
Hiring a helicopter through Charter-A means the whole aircraft is yours, on your date and at your times. It lets you travel quickly and in comfort, whether you are heading to a business meeting in the city, a sporting event or a remote countryside location.
We do not own helicopters. We arrange the one that fits the trip.
If the trip is for work, see helicopter charter for business travel. For regional pages and prices, start with helicopter charter UK.
Where you can fly
Departure and landing points we arrange
Airports
Flights use a wide range of airports around the UK, which is useful when you are connecting with a private jet or an airline flight.
Hotels
Hotels can be used as landing sites where the owner gives permission.
Racecourses
A racecourse landing is arranged in advance and depends on the site’s permission.
Private estates
A private estate or other private site can be used where it is suitable and the owner agrees.
What we handle
We look after the detail, including landing permissions
Our team manages each part of the flight for you:
- Landing permissions: we ask the site owner and confirm the answer before the day.
- Flight monitoring: we follow your flight in real time on the day.
- The right helicopter: a choice of types for passenger numbers, distances and budgets.
We work with corporate clients, VIPs, event planners and private individuals who value time, discretion and reliability. To check a site before you ask, read our guide to private helicopter landing sites.
