Helicopter Charter to the 2012 Cheltenham Festival

As we at Execflyer, welcome in the new year, it seems our clients thoughts are already turning to social planning in 2012. Christmas seems a distant memory as we get stuck into working on Cheltenham Festival helicopter charter requests with the Gold Cup highlight falling this year on Friday 16th March 2012.

Last year was an exceptional year in terms of helicopter charter traffic, and though the economic predictions for 2012 have been somewhat negative, early indicators suggest that a number of coprorates are stepping up the amount of face time spent with clients in order to protect and maintain lucrative relationships.

Jamie Dickson, Head of Charter sales at Execflyer noted that "Racing is one of the few sports where city wealth and country wealth come together to explore business opportunities. We see huge interest from City based traders who follow racing very closely indeed. In addition there is also a large Irish contingent that make the journey over for the week. It is a hectic few days, though the festival does not see anything like the heli movements encountered at Silverstone for the British Grand Prix."

Execflyer have access to a wide cross section of single and twin engine helicopters all over the UK. As we approach Cheltenham week however the popular arrival / departure slots will become thin on the ground and thus we advise all our clients to book early to ensure we can secure the prime slots.
