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 Heliflight
Heliflight is a helicopter company based at Gloucestershire Airport in Staverton, between Cheltenham and Gloucester, and describes itself as one of the leading helicopter providers in the UK. Its fleet includes Robinson R22 and R44 helicopters and Bell 206 JetRangers, with twin-engine helicopters used for executive charter.
It flies door to door executive charters, a dedicated helicopter service to Cheltenham Racecourse during the Festival, pleasure flights and tours over routes chosen by passengers, and flights for weddings, anniversaries and birthdays. Its flight school offers trial lessons, private and commercial licences, instructor training, licence conversions and night ratings, with self-fly hire for qualified pilots. A sister company, Heli Adventures, runs pleasure flights from Cardiff, Bath, Gloucester and Wiltshire.
For race goers at Cheltenham, a helicopter avoids hours of Festival traffic.
