UK CAA Air Operator Certificate GB 2055, on the CAA AOC holders list of 2 November 2026.
Legal name: Solent Helicopters Limited
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.
Elite Helicopters is a helicopter charter, training and pleasure flight company established in 1995 and now based at Goodwood Aerodrome in West Sussex, home of the Goodwood Revival and Festival of Speed. It describes itself as one of the leading helicopter operators in the UK and holds CAA approval.
Its charters cover sightseeing tours, pleasure flights, filming and photography, corporate flying days and weddings, and it is busy at major events: the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, Goodwood's own meetings, Cheltenham, the Derby and Royal Ascot, where it also sets up and runs temporary heliports. Its school trains pilots for private, light aircraft and commercial helicopter licences and instructor ratings, with self-fly hire and trial lessons.
For race day and event travel in the South of England, a helicopter from Goodwood avoids hours of traffic.
