Robinson R44 special services

Helicopter hire is always arranged with a pilot. Alongside panoramic flights, we consider private R44 services individually according to the location, permissions, weather and operational conditions.

For helicopter hire for weddings, a Robinson R44 wedding flight may be considered for a couple’s arrival or departure, a panoramic flight, a photo shoot, or a special surprise. Landing at a particular venue is never promised: it is confirmed in advance according to terrain, permissions, weather and operational conditions.

A private helicopter transfer is assessed individually for route, destination, landing options and operational feasibility. For promotional or corporate events, including product launches, branded photo/video shoots and event appearances, the service is arranged individually according to the location, event requirements and applicable operational conditions. Photo and video requests may include static or promotional shoots, event photography, ground-based video and custom visual productions involving the R44; specialist aerial filming is not implied.

Custom services are quote requests, not checkout bookings.
