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 ICE Helicopters
ICE Helicopters is the trading name of Elstree Aviation Centre, a helicopter training, tour, hire and sales business at Elstree Aerodrome in Hertfordshire, on the northern edge of London. It holds UK CAA approval as a helicopter flight training organisation and also runs the London Elstree FBO and heliport. Its fleet includes Robinson R22, R44 and R66 helicopters, an Airbus H120 and an MD 520.
For passengers, it flies helicopter sightseeing tours, including private tours of London that follow the Thames past the capital's landmarks, as well as experience days, gift flights and group fly outs. Elstree's position just outside the city makes it a quick start point for London flights.
Training is the core of the business. It runs private, light aircraft and commercial helicopter licence courses, type ratings for the R22, R44, R66 and MD 520, night ratings, turbine training, avionics and autopilot training, and an advanced pilots' course. It supports military pilots converting their qualifications and offers ground school in person and at a distance.
The company also offers self fly hire, long term leases, shared ownership of an R44, helicopter management and the sale of new and used helicopters.
