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.
About GB Helicopters
GB Helicopters is a UK helicopter charter company offering VIP and private charter, luxury travel and corporate charter across the UK and Europe, and it says it is available around the clock.
Beyond passenger flights, the company flies aerial filming for television productions, utility work and specialist operations, and it offers helicopter management and sales.
Helicopter charter in the UK is widely used for race meetings, golf tournaments, country house events and quick transfers between London and the regions, where a flight of under an hour can replace several hours on congested motorways. A helicopter can also land at private sites with the landowner's permission, putting passengers closer to their destination than any airport.
For corporate clients, the company's mix of executive charter and specialist work means it can support both travel and projects such as filming and inspection work in a single relationship.
