A UK Air Operator Certificate from the Civil Aviation Authority, held with an Operating Licence, is the approval a company needs to sell flights on its aircraft in the UK. The CAA approves the company's management, pilots, training, maintenance and aircraft, and keeps auditing it. Flights sold on aircraft outside an AOC, sometimes called grey charter, are illegal. Altivo Jets books flights only with licensed operators and names the operator on every quote. How we check operators.
Company
About Atlas Helicopters
Atlas Helicopters is a private helicopter charter company at London Elstree Aerodrome in Hertfordshire, operating under its own UK air operator certificate. It flies twin-engine helicopters for corporate trips, leisure travel, special occasions and country sports.
From Elstree, just north of London, it flies across the UK, the Channel Islands and continental Europe, including Paris, with popular trips to Birmingham, Manchester, the Cotswolds, Cornwall, the Lake District, Yorkshire, Scotland and the Isle of Wight. Event flights are a large part of its work: the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, Glastonbury, Royal Ascot, the Goodwood Revival and the Cheltenham Festival. Dogs are welcome on board, and it also manages helicopters for owners.
Atlas is a member of the British Helicopter Association. For north London clients, Elstree avoids the trip across town to a larger airport.
